US Supreme Court thwarts Trump plan to end 'Dreamers' immigrant program
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday dealt President Donald Trump a major setback on his hardline immigration policies, blocking his bid to end a program that protects from deportation hundreds of thousands of immigrants – often called “Dreamers” – who entered the United States illegally as children.
The ruling does not prevent Trump from trying again to end the program. But his administration may find it difficult to rescind DACA – and win any ensuing legal battle – before the Nov. 3 election in which Trump is seeking a second term in office. The Republican president said he wanted “a legal solution on DACA, not a political one” and that “now we have to start this process all over again.” Trump did not specify what action he envisioned.
States including California and New York, DACA enrollees and civil rights groups sued to block Trump’s plan to end the program. Lower courts in California, New York and the District of Columbia ruled against Trump and left DACA in place.The court’s four other conservatives including two Trump appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, dissented.
