If you’re an immigration “dreamer,” Donald Trump may throw you out of the United States.

So a number of civil rights groups Monday will launch a week of events demanding the Trump Administration continue allowing “dreamers” to stay in the U.S.

According to media sources and even a worried Gov. Jerry Brown, the Trump Administration is about ready to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that has allowed people brought to this country illegally as children to stay in the U.S. for work or study without fear of deportation.

The DACA program was introduced in 2012 by President Barack Obama.

Brown condemned any Trump plan to end the dreamer program as “cruel.”

“To uproot these young people from the only country they have known as home is to turn our back on the future,” Brown wrote in a letter to Trump. “It is cruel and it runs counter to the ideal this country was founded on.”

Brown urged Trump to work with Congress to pass a new Dream act instead of ending the program.

Meanwhile in Southern California, home to thousands of “dreamers,” a coalition of civil rights groups has announced a series of local events.

Organized by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) and the California Dream Network (CDN), in collaboration with young undocumented immigrants, their families and supporters, “Rise Up 4 DACA” will take place during five consecutive days starting Monday in a variety of locations throughout Los Angeles County.
