What happened
Many Obama-era regulations were rolled back, but the central immigration target, DACA, survived. The Supreme Court blocked its rescission in June 2020 and a federal court ordered full reinstatement of the program in December 2020. PolitiFact rated the promise a compromise on January 4, 2021.
