President Trump signed a proclamation on Friday declaring Sunday a "National Day of Prayer" for the state of Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

After signing the proclamation, Trump briefly answered questions from reporters on the state of Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, an Obama-era order that protects the children of illegal immigrants from deportation.

When asked if DREAMers should be worried, Trump only said "We love the DREAMers, we love the DREAMers."

 

 

Trump also said the White House would make a decision on DACA soon, and to expect a decision throughout the weekend or as early as this afternoon.
