The federal judge who had ordered the government to restart the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty in full backed off his decision Friday and said the government does not, after all, have to begin accepting brand new applications.
Judge John D. Bates acknowledged the legal mess that’s arisen around DACA and said he didn’t want to make it worse, so he issued a partial stay of his own ruling.
That means that while illegal immigrant “Dreamers” who already have had DACA protections can apply for renewals, no brand new applicants can apply to start the process.
Judge Bates also delayed part of his previous ruling that would have allowed those with DACA to apply for special protections known as advance parole — permission to travel outside the U.S. and then return — which can, in some cases, turn into a pathway to citizenship.

The Administration needs to just stop obeying any of these orders. The judge who was able to order the DHS to RETURN and ALREADY DEPORTED illegal from El Salvador was an insane overreach.
The judge had a sudden, blinding flash of common sense. We need more of this.
Did someone offer to blow his head off for him, for free? I think this SJW “judge” should just shut up and crawl back under his rock, after he is fired.
Didn’t know Bates had been elected King. Talk about a delusional person.
Okay. That will work, too.
There is. Congress can impeach a federal judge at any time. the last time was in 2010, although there have been some resignations forced as recently as 2014 due to pending impeachment hearings.
You have to really mess up to get impeached. Legislating from the bench doesn't get Congress's attention, even though it's a direct overthrow of their power.
