Supreme Court Scores Trump DACA Win

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that it would grant a request from the Trump administration’s Department of Justice to speed up a hearing on whether the high court will address an injunction that has halted President Trump’s phaseout of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The move takes the case out of lower-court limbo and could result in a decision to hear the case by the court’s next Feb. 16 conference.
The issue at hand involves a decision by a judge on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (of course) which ruled that while the DACA program was started by presidential fiat, it couldn’t necessarily be ended by presidential fiat.
Judge William Alsup ruled that the administration would have to continue processing DACA renewal applications but wouldn’t have to take new applications for DACA status, according to CNN, nor did the ruling stipulate the renewal applications must be accepted.
NPR reported that the ruling would require the administration to continue in that vein until court appeals were exhausted.
