UPDATE: After hearing today, a bare majority of the US Supreme Court appears likely to let the Trump admin. follow through on its plan to shut down DACA. - PeteWilliamsNBC
While Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh appeared likely to say DACA was properly shut down, Chief Justice John Roberts did not seem to be as strongly convinced. Roberts may be the deciding vote, just as it was last term when the court blocked the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census form. He concluded in that case that the government did not give an adequate explanation for its proposed action.
Lower court rulings have kept DACA going, allowing young people in the program to reapply every two years to remain under its protection. Children of undocumented immigrants can remain here if they were under 16 when their parents brought them to the U.S. and if they arrived by 2007. Arguing for DACA's defenders, Washington, D.C., lawyer Ted Olson said federal law requires the government to give a detailed explanation before taking an action that affects hundreds of thousands of people and the businesses that employ them.
It would be one thing, he said,"if they provided a rational explanation and took responsibility for their decision." But instead, the Trump Justice Department simply said the program was illegal and therefore must be shut down.Sign Up
