Court orders full restoration of DACA program

2018-02-14

[WASHINGTONTIMES] A federal judge in New York ruled Tuesday that the government must fully restart the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals deportation amnesty and accept brand new applicants as well as renewals, throwing a potential wrench in the ongoing debate over the fate of "Dreamers" on Capitol Hill.

Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis said the administration does have the power to revoke DACA, but it must give a sound reason for doing so ‐ and the Homeland Security Department’s September 2017 rationale fell far short of what is required in that regard.

Appointed by Bill Clinton in 2000! Nuff said.

He even used Mr. Trump’s own tweets as evidence that the DACA program was ended precipitously, pointing to President Trump’s claims that he could "revisit this issue" as proof the program could have been continued.

Judge Garaufis is the second federal judge to rule Mr. Trump’s aides bungled the phaseout ‐ but his decision is the most wide-ranging, ordering the government to not only allow those already in the program to renew their applications but also ordering the government to accept new applications.

#9 So this judge is ordering the president of the united states to Violate Federal law.
Need rationale? How about that little part of the U.S. consitition that says only congress has the power to create laws and DACA is only a Executive Order (and an illegal one at that) and not 'law'.

#8 President Trump has made it clear he does not object to the principle embodied in DACA, but that it was illegally done by his predecessor, and needs to result from the passage of Congressional legislation in the customary fashion, not by presidential phone and pen.

Not by the order of some piss ant little judge either.

#7 Go to the SC again. Liberal, tyrannical judge over-ruled again.

You think after the 14-15th time Trump would just finally say, "No."

#6 Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis said the administration does have the power to revoke DACA, but it must give a sound reason for doing so ‐ and the Homeland Security Department’s September 2017 rationale fell far short...

Once again take the issue straight to the Supreme Court, get a ruling that supports the president, and move on. Or get a ruling that supports the judge, rewrite the rationale that the judge objected to, and move on. President Trump has made it clear he does not object to the principle embodied in DACA, but that it was illegally done by his predecessor, and needs to result from the passage of Congressional legislation in the customary fashion, not by presidential phone and pen.

#5 This order might be a good thing for Trump to publicly defy as manifestly illegal.

#4 And if not, you'll send your court bailiff to arrest the president?

#3 Another indicator that the ship is going down. She simply wasn't built for this many torpedoes. It will take a miracle to save her now.

#2 ...no he's not. He's a Prince who sits for life in what used to be a Constitutional Republic (no longer) who has no loyalty to the law only to power. Accept your fate peasants.

#1 Jackass. That is the President ending an illegal order.

You are not a Judge.
