With immigration officials still rejecting new DACA applications, President Trump is defying a Supreme Court ruling, experts say.
The court did not decide on Trump’s executive authority to rescind DACA, and offered the administration a road map for how to try to end it for good.But despite threatening another attempt to shut down the program, the president hasn’t tried. Monday — 25 days after the ruling — was the deadline for the administration to file for a rehearing, and it didn’t.In 2017, then-Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions declared that DACA was unconstitutional.
The White House’s refusal to either act or restart the program sets up a potential showdown with the court with little precedent, says Muneer Ahmad, clinical professor at Yale Law School, who was involved in a New York-based DACA suit against the administration. The administration’s refusal to process first-timeDACA applications, advocates and lawmakers say, flies in the face of widespread legal opinion —— that slow-rolling the restart of the program violates the court’s order.
Then on Tuesday in a Rose Garden news conference, Trump said he’s working on DACA “because we want to make people happy.”
