Breitbart News is taking names on who wants to extend Obama-era protections for undocumented immigrants, publishing an item on Tuesday morning noting that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are supposedly for keeping the DACA program in place.

The article was written as a straight news story, but represents a constant drip of information from Breitbart about the so-called moderate positions of Kushner and Ivanka Trump, who are widely reputed to be socially liberal.

Steve Bannon, who left the White House in August to return as head of Breitbart News, is said to hold a grudge against the golden couple for their views on issues like immigration and gay rights, which Breitbart frames as undercutting President Trump.

The Trump administration has announced plans to end the DACA program, which has given protections against deportation to undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children.
