A Judge Just Ordered Trump To Keep DACA

A federal judge in California ordered the Trump administration to maintain the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program late Tuesday, an Obama-era amnesty policy that extends legal status to 700,000 illegal aliens who arrived in the U.S. as children.

The ruling could ensures DACA’s security as President Donald Trump attempts to reach an immigration deal with Democratic lawmakers. The program was scheduled to phase out in March.

Judge William Alsup, a Bill Clinton appointee, issued the ruling.

The administration justified DACA’s termination on separation of powers grounds, arguing only Congress could authorize such a program.

Alsup strongly rejected this view, pointing to a 2014 Justice Department memo purporting to show that DACA’s features are rooted in Supreme Court case law or related powers granted by Congress.

Since the program’s rescission was based on a flawed legal premise, Alsup concluded the action was “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, [and] otherwise not in accordance with law.”

Alsup further noted that Trump himself has determined DACA serves the public interest, citing two Sept. 2017 tweets in which the president expressed support for so-called “Dreamers.”


“We seem to be in the unusual position wherein the ultimate authority over the agency, the chief executive, publicly favors the very program the agency has ended,” the judge wrote.

The order does not require the administration to process new DACA applications, and allows law enforcement to remove any DACA recipient believed to pose a threat to national security or public safety.

The Trump administration can ask the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review Alsup’s decision.

The University of California system brought the suit challenging DACA’s termination. The system is led by Janet Napolitano, the former secretary of Homeland Security who presided over DACA’s original promulgation during the Obama administration.

The ruling can be viewed here.

Activist judges to thwart progress for the country. Had no idea how many of our own don't like our country, it's laws, it's culture, and prefer foreign citizens, global citizenry.

Judge appointments matter. Liberals know this.

Supreme Court agrees to speed up Trump's DACA appeal

Richard Wolf, USA TODAY Published 10:56 a.m. ET Jan. 23, 2018 | Updated 11:22 a.m. ET Jan. 23, 2018


WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is racing Congress to decide the future of the Dreamers.

The justices agreed Tuesday to decide quickly whether to hear the Trump administration's appeal of a federal district court's order to restart the DACA program without waiting for an appeals courtruling.

By setting up a fast track for both sides to submit court papers, the high court likely will consider the Justice Department's request at its Feb. 16 conference.

More DACA drama.

Yes, exactly. The ruling came out after Trump's meeting today, so none of the talk shows knew about it in time to incorporate into their stories, only the late night Shannon Bream, Night Court, covered it which is where I learned about it from Fox News, then looked it up and posted an article on the Illegal Immigration forum. Anyway, I'm sure it will be the big news tomorrow for all the shows to discuss the impact on the DACA DEAL. Be interesting to see what happens since there is now no more immediate "urgency" for the Democrats to push DACA DEAL before passing the budget and taking care of our own citizens, military, government and country.
