Emerging story

On October 15, 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump held a town hall meeting with NBC. During the town hall, he said: "We are going to take care of DACA. We are going to take care of Dreamer(s). It’s working right now, we are negotiating different aspects of immigration and immigration law. But we are working very hard on the DACA program, and you will be, I think, very happy over the course of the next year, because I feel the same way as you do about it." He went on: "What happened is because of the pandemic, much changed on the immigration front. Mexico is heavily infected, as you know, and we've made it very, very difficult to come in because of the pandemic and other reasons, and crime."

Social media users immediately contested the claim.
