Hopeful news yesterday from the Supreme Court:
The U.S. Supreme Court took no action on Friday on the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] program. It now appears likely that the court will not take up the issue during its current term, which would require the government to keep the program going for at least ten more months.
The Trump administration urged the justices to hear appeals of lower court rulings that prevent the government from shutting DACA down, but Friday was the last day for adding cases to the current term's docket, barring unusual circumstances. Any cases accepted in subsequent weeks won't be heard until the next term, which begins October 1, and it would take a few months more for the court to issue a decision.
If this holds, it will be
the second time in a year that the Supreme Court has declined to weigh into challenges to the DACA program by the Trump regime.
