Princeton University and Microsoft Corp. sued the Trump administration in a bid to save the “Dreamer” program, which allowed people who unofficially entered the U.S. as children to remain in the country and lawfully hold jobs if they met certain criteria.
President Donald Trump said in September the Obama-era program formally known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals -- or DACA -- would end in March unless Congress crafted a long-term solution. President Barack Obama created DACA via a 2012 policy directive.
