https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/daca-donald-trump-supreme-court.html?fbclid=IwAR3lL0OwLrm5QAvG14fHhiGTR5uyTlf6n68KaXbfgEFi1cKDTDeSE5A0AmMThe Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it will continue to defy a federal court order compelling the full restoration of DACA, the Obama-era program that allows 700,000 immigrants to live and work in the United States legally. By doing so, the administration has chosen to flout a decision by the Supreme Court, effectively rejecting the judiciarys authority to say what the law is.
Donald Trump first attempted to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in September 2017, a move that wouldve stripped its beneficiaries of work permits and subjected them to deportation. But his administration continually cut corners, failing to explain the basis for its decision and refusing to consider the impact of DACA repeal on immigrants, their communities, and their employers (including the U.S. Army). This June, the Supreme Court ruled that the administrations actions were arbitrary and capricious under federal law and therefore set aside DACA repeal.
To implement that decision, U.S. District Judge Paul Grimm compelled the administration to restore DACA to its pre-repeal condition on July 17. Grimms order required the Department of Homeland Security to let DACA beneficiaries renew their status for two years, accept new applicants, and restore advance parole, which permits travel outside the country. But DHS did not do that. Instead, the agency maintained that it would reject new DACA applicants. It also declined to accept DACA renewals or reinstate advance parole.
At a hearing Friday, Grimm tore into Justice Department attorneys for flouting his order. The governments actions, he explained, created a feeling and a belief that the agency is disregarding binding decisions from the Supreme Court. DOJ attorneys insisted that DACA applications were merely on hold, or placed into a bucket, while the administration decided how to proceed. But, as Grimm retorted, it is a distinction without a difference to say that this application has not been denied, it has been received and it has been put in a bucket. The judge once again directed DHS to comply with the law by accepting new applicants and processing renewals.

(82,849 posts)1. Someone should notify Attorney General Barr
Poor Bill just doesn't know anything about anything, except that graffiti on the federal courthouse in Portland is going to bring the building down. But if he knows about something, he'll consider investigating it; it's just that he never hears about anything. No tweets, no media reports, nothing. It's kind of sad that he's so cut off from the world.

Their ruling ignored. This may not work out all that well for don.
