The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Trump administration's request to fast track a decision on whether it will hear a case over the president's rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The justices, in an unsigned order, denied the request, which was filed on behalf of the administration last month to expedite their decision on whether to review the case.
ADVERTISEMENT.Solicitor General Noel Francisco, who represents the administration in cases before the Supreme Court, urged the justices to announce their decision on whether they will hear the case by the end of their term later this month.
The justices on Monday that request, meaning that the court could wait until their next term starts in the fall to decide whether they will hear a DACA case.
The Supreme Court is weighing several requests to take up cases surrounding the end of DACA. But the justices have acted slowly in determining whether they will take up the legal challenges, allowing lower court rulings blocking the program from ending to stand for the time being.
The justices had also previously declined to take up the administration's challenge to a district court ruling that temporarily blocked officials from winding down the program.
Making a decision on whether to even consider the case would put the court - once again - at the center of a controversial Trump policy decision.
