New Supreme Court Ruling A Boon To Trump’s Bid To Defend DACA Cancellation
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/8/17 | Kevin Daley

Posted on 12/09/2017 6:05:05 PM PST by x1stcav

A closely divided Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to shield documents relating to the cancellation of DACA, an Obama-era amnesty initiative that extended temporary legal status to foreign nationals who illegally entered the country as children.

The Court divided five to four along ideological lines in a late Friday ruling that temporarily permits the administration to conceal records relating to the program. Justice Stephen Breyer dissented from the decision, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.

The ruling is likely a boon to Trump’s efforts to defend DACA’s termination.

“The Department of Justice is pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision today putting on hold the district court’s overreach,” DOJ spokesman Devin O’Malley said. “The Department of Homeland Security acted within its lawful authority in deciding to wind down DACA in an orderly manner, and the Justice Department believes the courts will ultimately agree.”

I hate to say it but we have already lost it.

It would take an army to force out the illegals in CA.

Any good folks out there need to head east as fast as they can.

I hope they vote to leave the union...Trump would say hot damn and let them go in peace...good riddance I say.

CA is a drag on this nation, and without CA there will never be another dem president.

The claim that Trump has “cancelled” DACA is absurd.

Trump gave new DACA applicants seven months (until September 2017) to file for a two year deferment.

Trump gave DACA renewals and work permits an eight month window (until October 2017) to file for a two year extension.

Bottom Line - between September 2017 and the November 2018 election, no DACAs of any kind will expire unless the applicants were too lazy or too stupid get it done during Trump's 7-8 month non-enforcement window.

Trump clearly supports some form of legal status for DACAs, but he is also very fearful of the Conservative response if he does that.

My prediction - It's impossible to know what the GOP and the Democrats will do about the DACA Amnesty currently attached to the 2018 Budget legislation.

Trump's first choice is to have the entire DACA issue disappear until after the November 2018 election.

Long Term - I still stand by my prediction made on this forum in late 2015.

If Trump is reelected in 2020, he will attempt to give blanket Amnesty to every non-violent illegal immigrant living in America.

Full Disclosure...

I voted for Trump in 2016, and I will vote to reelect him in 2020, but only because he is the most Conservative candidate who has a chance to be elected.

I was initially scared of President Trumps court picks but after Gorsuch I’m willing to go on faith.
From what I understand his picks for the lower courts are just as solid.
Donald Trump gets it!

When every little action and decision is open to endless scrutiny, it is also open to liberal lawfare - even while it is still being discussed as policy.

Everybody talks about Kate. But, what about Diana Martinez-Gonzalez.

She was killed by a DACA stay that Trump kept in country. He should have been deported when Obama's DACA ended.

Obama's daca was illegal, so is the current Trump daca. There is no reason to believe that Trump will not go for amnesty.

He didn’t extend it. It was stopped on Sept. 5. No new ones. The ones here have some time to get their affairs in order.

He extended it. The daca stays should have been deported long ago. For example, Daniel De Jesus Rangel-Sherrer was a DACA stay, who should have been deported under Obama, But Trump kept him around. He killed Diana Martinez-Gonzalez.
