U.S. appeals court rules against Trump on DACA immigration program
Reuters ^ | November 8, 2018 | by Tom Hals

A U.S. appeals court in California ruled on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue a program begun under former President Barack Obama that protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children.

The decision by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals preserves the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program introduced in 2012 that has shielded from deportation a group of immigrants dubbed “Dreamers” and given them work permits, though not a path to citizenship.

The ruling represented another legal defeat for Trump over DACA, although he has won court victories on other parts of his hardline immigration policies.

On Monday, his administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review a federal judge’s January decision to block Trump from ending the program even before the 9th Circuit had weighed in, an unusually aggressive move in terms of procedure.

Trump has taken a stern stance against illegal immigration. His administration announced plans in September 2017 to phase out DACA, arguing that Obama exceeded his constitutional powers when he bypassed Congress and created the program.

So a court is insisting that a program started illegally by an illegal President for illegal aliens must be continued illegally.

DACA has no legal basis.

Split the scope of the current 9th Circuit and replace ALL of the Judges.

SIMPLE SOLUTION: “continue” the illegal program BUT is there a ruling that says you have to “accept” the application? Keep rejecting these illegal pukes and deport.

So this Court is taking the position that a FORMER president has MORE authority over current government operations than the current president??

This opinion should be ignored.

SCOTUS not only needs to reverse, they need to issue a smackdown.

Stop taking cases that impinge on the Executive Branch’s functions, or incur sanctions.

How can the reversal of a policy that was unconstitutional in its enactment be unconstitutional in its reversal?

Obama understood that it was better to ask forgiveness than permission. Well, better in the sense of more effective here, not “better” in some moral or legal sense.

I thought the SCOTUS had already ruled on this.

DACA was not protected.

This is the third or fourth go-round on this.

Didn’t the Hawaiian judge ruled against. Then there was another. I believe the SCOTUS ruled on it once, and then refused to review.

It’s over, isn’t it?

They love to be slapped. They get off on it. I admit, I like watching it too.

It would be even better if they were or kicked - until they stop causing such chaos and disruption to our nation's judicial integrity.

'DACA by Executive Branch memorandum'

That isn't a EO. You will not find a EO number on DACA. It was created by a dhs policy memo.

The President has it within his statutory and constitutional authority to suspend all grants of asylum, should he choose to do so. This was reaffirmed by the SCOTUS in June of this year, in the case, Trump v. Hawaii, No. 17-965 in the Supreme Court of the United States.

“8USC 1182(f) and 1185(a) By its terms, §1182(f) exudes deference to the President in every clause. It entrusts to the President the decisions whether and when to suspend entry, whose entry to suspend, for how long, and on what conditions. It thus vests the President with “ample power” to impose entry restrictions in addition to those elsewhere enumerated in the INA.”

Supreme court, here we come.

We already sent there in June of this year. The Supreme Court ruled in the President's favor.

The Ninth Circuit Court is in rebellion.

Obama’s EO’s, no matter how illegal, cannot be overturned.

Where'd you hear that foolishness? It's not even remotely true.

What did you expect from 9th Circuit? (It IS the most overturned court in the US).

‘Frivolous litigations’ re-defined!

This is NOT accepting the SCOTUS decision, in the same way the 9th Circuit would not accept the results President Trump’s election!

Donald’s has patiently waited; and any day now, I expect he will open up a Trump-Sized barrel of whoop-ass!

Can you see it coming? Release all [un-redacted] FISA documents? Weiner’s laptop? Illary, BHO, Val Jar, Brennan, Holder, Comey, Pelosi, DiFi, etc.?

Demz desperate attempt to spin this story follows.
