Late-night took President Trump to task Tuesday after it was announced that he would "wind down" former President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects young immigrants (also known as "dreamers") brought into the country illegally as children.

“This morning, our president woke up and asked his staff, ‘Now that this hurricane is over, what is something horrible I can do to distract people from the Russia investigation?'” Jimmy Kimmel joked in his Jimmy Kimmel Live! opener. “Someone said, ‘You know, there are 800,000 innocent kids you can deport for no good reason.’ And he said ‘Done and done!’ "

The Late Show's Stephen Colbert called the decision “a man-made disaster" in Washington. “The things is, the vast majority of Americans like this program. So by canceling it, Trump has stepped in some deep DACA,” he joked.

Colbert also poked fun at the fact that Trump did not make the announcement himself, instead he had Attorney General Jeff Sessions do it, or as Colbert calls him "the Turnip That Learned to Hate." "As my mama used to say, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates, now get out of the country,'” he joked, imitating Sessions.

Chelsea Handler sent a message on behalf of Trump's administration: "We're sorry for making it clear that white supremacists and Nazis are welcome in this country while young, hard-working immigrants brought here as children are not."

"These young people are the American dream," she continued, with a nod to the president. "They've never obstructed justice, colluded with Russia, defrauded people through a fake university, funneled millions of tax-payer dollars into their businesses, falsely accused people of wire tapping them, carelessly taunted a Korean dictator with nuclear weapons, bragged about sexual assault or pardoned a racist maniac."

Over at The Daily Show, host Trevor Noah also mocked Sessions, calling him "one of Santa's Elves" who made the announcement instead of Trump to "soften the blow."

After showing a news clip of Trump saying that the people affected aren't actually kids, but are in fact "young adults," Noah retorts, "Yeah, but when 39-year-old Don Jr. tries to collude with Russia, Trump is all like 'He's a good boy. He's a good kid. He's my baby.'"

Playing a clip of a Texas paramedic who, in addition to being a dreamer, assisted in rescue missions during Hurricane Harvey, Noah added: "Those are the kinds of people who are literally making America great again," he said.
