Trump Administration’s Appeal Over DACA Rejected
They Are Not Having It
The Supreme Court is not having the Trump administration’s movement to intervene in the protection for many young immigrants.
Today, the justices rejected the order that stops the requirement of administration accepting renewal applications for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, otherwise known as DACA.
Awhile ago, a U.S. district court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending DACA.
The program DACA was established by previous president Barack Obama to protect immigrants who arrived to the United States illegally as children.
Shortly thereafter, the Trump administration was determined to keep trying and planned to bypass the federal appeals court in San Francisco to appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
This did not work out too well for them.
In the Supreme Court order ruled today, it is said that the DACA applications must be accepted now, and INDEFINITELY.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals has provided protection from deportation and work permits for over 800,000 young people in the U.S.
Many of these 800,000 kids were brought to the U.S. illegally.
Addressing the country’s governors Trump stated “Every single case is against us.”
The White House also issued a statement accusing the the district court judge in the case of having “unwisely intervened in the legislative process” by acting while Congress is still debating the policy.
A statement from the Department of Justice spokesman Devin O’Malley stated that the DOJ will continue to defend lawful authority to wind down DACA in an orderly manner.
“While we were hopeful for a different outcome, the Supreme Court very rarely grants certiorari before judgment, though in our view it was warranted for the extraordinary injunction requiring the Department of Homeland Security to maintain DACA.” stated O’Malley.
Last September, President Trump made it his goal to end the DACA program by March 5th.
The Court’s decision put a damper on this goal.
