The government failed to give an adequate justification
This just in: Trump fails in his attempt to throw the children of undocumented immigrants out of the country.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration cannot carry out its plan to shut down theĀ Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which has allowed nearly 800,000 young people, known as “Dreamers,” to avoid deportation and remain in the U.S.
The decision is a big legal defeat for President Donald Trump on the issue of immigration, which has been a major focus of his domestic agenda.
That is, the issue of brown people messing up his shiny gleaming white country.
The decision authored mostly by Chief Justice John Roberts said the government failed to give an adequate justification for ending the federal program. The administration could try again to shut it down by offering a more detailed explanation for its action, but the White House might not want to end such a popular program in the heat of a presidential campaign.
Also probably wouldn’t have time.
An added wrinkle is that throwing DACA people out now would strain the medical system even more than it already is.
Good news, but Congress needs to act to make this permanent.
