A Supreme Court ruling late Friday temporarily allows President Donald Trump to conceal records related to the cancellation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
DACA is an immigration policy that extends temporary legal status to anyone who entered the country legally as a minor. The program currently protects over 800,000 undocumented immigrant children.
“The Department of Justice is pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision today putting on hold the district court’s overreach,” Department of Justice spokesman Devin O’Malley said.
“The Department of Homeland Security acted within its lawful authority in deciding to wind down DACA in an orderly manner,” he added, “and the Justice Department believes the courts will ultimately agree.”
