WASHINGTON — A bare majority of the U.S. Supreme Court appeared likely Tuesday to let the Trump administration follow through on its plan to shut down DACA, the federal program that has allowed nearly 800,000 young people, known as dreamers, to avoid deportation and remain in the U.S.
With hundreds of DACA supporters rallying outside — so many that police shut down the street in front of the Supreme Court — the justices heard nearly an hour and a half of oral arguments. Based on their questions, it appeared that the court's five conservatives were inclined to rule that the Department of Homeland Security acted properly when it ordered the program ended in 2017 and that the federal courts cannot second-guess that decision.
While Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh appeared likely to say DACA was properly shut down, Chief Justice John Roberts did not seem to be as strongly convinced. Roberts may be the deciding vote, just as it was last term when the court blocked the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census form. He concluded in that case that the government did not give an adequate explanation for its proposed action.

If it were lawful for Obama to start DACA by Executive Order why then is it Unlawful to stop it by EO?
I think a new president can undo the previous president’s EO except in the situation where a Republican is replacing the Dem. If the other way around, it’s all good.
Swing vote is the propaganda word in the purely speculative article
The Swamp Washington is pretending that it's an executive order.
Ah! Then total no-brainer.
It’s dead, Jim.
Right off the bat. It wasn’t a fricking EO! It was a memo. A memo about changing enforcement by Janet Napolitano when she was head of DHS.
Either way on this, President Trump wins.
Because if an Executive Order can be considered “LAW, that must be obeyed,” our President will have a wonderful four years!!!!

*DACA was formally initiated by a policy memorandum sent from Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to the heads of U.S. Customs
“DACA was formally initiated by a policy memorandum sent from Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to the heads of U.S. Customs”
"DACA was formally initiated by a policy memorandum sent from Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to the heads of U.S. Customs"
It's a MEMO by a not-President.
Thank you. I get so tired of telling everyone.....it wasn’t an EO!!!! It was nothing more than a bureaucrat decision about enforcement and shouldn’t even be in a courtroom...let alone the Supreme Court.
Thanks 11th_VA. And if the SCOTUS does uphold the letter and spirit of the law and supports President Trump's position, I'm sure Roberts will remind everyone how there are no Democrat and Republican judges.
That’s even worse...
created by executive order, deleted by executive order.
simple as hat.
But then we thought Obamacare was unconstitutional too...

The Media and the Uniparty and the courts are lying about it.
If the Supremes uphold it, I think we're done here.
Their "laws" are toilet paper, then.

"Surprisingly", the Media and the Uniparty and the courts are lying about it.
Good job!

So does income tax, and death. Perhaps the Supreme Court will end these two items out of compassion for the people affected. Blather Judge Roberts, Blather.
It’s a tax.
