President Trump to renew effort to end legal protections for DACA recipients

Published:  

As reported in the Washington Examiner on Friday, President Trump will continue to try to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

President Trump tweeted Friday:

"We will be submitting enhanced papers shortly in order to properly fulfil [sic] the Supreme Court's ruling & request of yesterday," blaming Democrats for not negotiating to protect the young immigrants who were brought illegally to the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Thursday that the President Obama-era program should remain. The majority didn't say President Trump lacks the power to disband the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, but rejected the way the administration tried to end it.

As the Washington Examiner reports:

The decision did not say Trump lacks the power to disband the program for DACA recipients but rejected the way the administration tried to end it.

Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court's four liberal judges, who agreed the administration's attempt to dismantle the program violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
