A third federal judge ruled on Tuesday against the Trump administration’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
In September, President Donald Trump canceled the
Obama-era DACA program, which shields undocumented immigrants who arrived in
the U.S. as youths from deportation. But in a stinging rebuke of the Trump
administration’s legal logic, U.S. District Judge John Bates described the
program’s cancellation as “arbitrary and capricious because the Department [of
Homeland Security] failed adequately to explain its conclusion that the program
was unlawful.”
“Neither the meager legal reasoning nor the assessment of litigation risk
provided by DHS to support its rescission decision is sufficient to sustain
termination of the DACA program,” Bates wrote in the opinion. EN:
