President Donald Trump lauded a win in a federal court affirming his authority to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
The program — initiated by former President Barack Obama by executive action in 2012 — allows those who arrived in the United States before they turned 16 the ability to apply for renewable two-year deferments on deportation.
“Federal Judge in Maryland has just ruled that ‘President Trump has the right to end DACA,'” Trump tweeted on Tuesday. “President Obama had 8 years to fix this problem, and didn’t. I am waiting for the Dems, they are running for the hills!”

Federal district court Judge Roger W. Titus found that Trump was fully within his authority to rescind Obama’s executive order last September and provide Congress six months to address the issue legislatively.

That's not a EO.
Yes, but there is absolutely no excuse for it not to be done earlier. Judges have run amok.
Well, it WAS the inspiration for “he rode a blazing saddle, he wore a shining star...”(whip cracks)
“All this judge accomplished was getting it out of his courtroom.”
wrong. he forced the Supreme Court to deal with it since they now have conflicting rulings in the lower courts. Hard for the Supremes to say “lower court ruling stands” when there are conflicting rulings.
What he accomplished is telling the truth. Often, the results of telling the truth aren't apparent right away.
Besides why should this be used as a bargaining chip, allowing the very people the wall is meant to keep out, to get the wall.
I thought that's what elections were for. Silly me. Deport them all Deport them now build the wall. How come we can't find 15 billion to build the wall seemed like we can find billions for everything else.
Stop this silly gun grabbing talk, build the wall and deport these illegals.
What is desperately needed is federal law limiting the geographic jurisdiction of the US District Courts to their own judicial district. Otherwise this country will be continuously run by political appointees.
His honor must have accidentally read the statues and precedents concerning immigration authority.
Brace yourselves for the ENDLESS sob stories and ‘reasons’ why most of the dreamers should be allowed to stay.
The courts have the authority to review an Executive Order and rule that it is illegal...like Obama’s original DACA order was.
But they have ZERO authority to create or maintain an EO when the President repeals it. In this case the courts have been acting as the Executive Branch and the Senate should be impeaching these usurpers.
Executive being conquered by Judical branch. The black robes are being allowed to become the _gods_ of us all.
Well, Young Freepers, that’s why God allowed Google to exist!

I don’t know how many times this has to be repeated, but obama never issued a executive order for daca. It was merely policy. Just like trump never issued a eo to stop it.
Ok well what was the route Obama took then? Thanks in advance for explaining.
What is done through executive order is undone through executive order.
DACA came into existence as a policy change
announced in the form of a memo on June 15, 2012
from Janet Napolitano, then head of Homeland Security.
No executive order was ever issued.
"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the 'memos' of war".
100% exactly right. Trump should have said publicly, “This activist judge has no power to usurp what is clearly and constitutionally an executive function. The action against DACA will go forward as I’ve directed. I have reversed a previous executive action. If the judge doesn’t like it he come attempt to arrest me himself.”
Judge in Maryland actually does the right thing.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
