In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled to block the Trump administration from ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, with Chief Justice John Roberts siding with liberal judges.\n
In his opinion, Justice Roberts made it clear that the decision was not based on whether or not he personally wants to deport children but the argument that the DHS didn’t go through the proper legal channels to get back to deporting them:
“We address only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action,” Roberts wrote. “Here the agency failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance and what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients.”“That dual failure raises doubts about whether the agency appreciated the scope of its discretion or exercised that discretion in a reasonable manner.
