US Court Rules Against Trump Effort to Rescind Immigrant Protection Program - Filing

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled against the Trump administration's effort to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program, a court filing revealed on Thursday.

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th November, 2018) The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled against the Trump administration's effort to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program, a court filing revealed on Thursday.

On Monday, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to review legalities related to winding down DACA, which protects some undocumented immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children from deportation.

"Upon review, we conclude that plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claim that the rescission of DACA - at least as justified on this record - is arbitrary, capricious, or otherwise not in accordance with law. We therefore affirm the district court's grant of preliminary injunctive relief," the document said.
