Federal Appeals Court Declares DACA Policy Unconstitutional Ahead of Trump’s Inauguration — A Major Blow to Leftist Immigration Agenda
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 18, 2025 | Jim Hoft

A federal appeals court has dealt a critical blow to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a controversial Obama-era policy that has shielded over half a million illegal immigrants from deportation.

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, this ruling signals a potential turning point in America’s battle against illegal immigration.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that found the Biden administration’s attempt to codify DACA violated U.S. immigration law.

The decision affirms that the 2012 Obama-era memo, which unilaterally created DACA without congressional approval, was both unconstitutional and a blatant overreach of executive power, CBS reported.

How about we sue the Obama for how much this has cost the country.

Not yet sick of winning.

Of course the usual anti-Americans (AKA The Deep State) will appeal to SCOTUS.

However, the boneheads decided to keep DACA in place even though it’s illegal. “Judges” suck. ALL OF THEM.

Ruled unconstitutional 14 years later.
Why did this ruling take so long?

I doubt any of the childhood arrivals are still children

Didn't we just hear the Dems at these hearings..."Obey the Law"...

Let's look again at the school loan farce.

Few people have even an awareness of the recent Chevron ruling; even less an inkling of its potential to alter the size and reach of government.

Perfect timing and I expect Homan to start the deportations of that bunch IMMEDIATELY.

Probably because the Republicans supported DACA and no one else had ‘standing’.

You’d be correct 💯%. That’s the first thing I thought of.

The Kritarchs are indeed the problem.

For many of them it’s not a problem, since it’s the system of their ancestors, not ours.

Yep. Dems are the very ones who keep reminding us "no one is above the law" - when prosecuting Trump and other Republicans they didn't like.

As Tom Homan keeps saying "We're going to uphold and follow immigration law!"
