The White House released its plan on Thursday night to provide amnesty to 1.8 million illegal immigrants, including around 700,000 current recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly stayed behind to work on the plan as Trump went to Davos. Senior advisor Stephen Miller presented the plan to Republicans on Thursday over a conference call.
