The Trump administration signaled that it was considering another attempt to cancel an Obama-era program that benefited young immigrants, a day after a loss at the Supreme Court injected the issue into an already contentious election cycle.
President Trump on Friday said that the administration would be submitting “enhanced papers shortly” to address issues raised by the court in a case involving a program granting work permits and legal protection to hundreds of thousands of young immigrants.
“The Supreme Court asked us to resubmit on DACA, nothing was lost or won. They ‘punted’, much like in a football game,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter.
“We are on it,” Ken Cuccinelli, the second-ranking official at the Department of Homeland Security, responded in a tweet.
“We’re looking at the document currently and we’re going to move forward in a responsible way,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday afternoon.
The court, in a 5-4 opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, said the administration acted arbitrarily when it moved to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, failing to offer adequate reasons for doing so. DACA was created under President Obama and drew the ire of Republicans, who said the program sidestepped Congress. Mr. Trump moved to cancel the program in 2017, drawing immediate legal challenges.
The high court made clear that DHS could rescind the program, but said it must offer well-supported and transparent reasons for doing so. The court declined to weigh in on the Trump administration’s conclusion that DACA had been unlawful, but said that even if the program crossed legal lines, DHS still needed to weigh all sides of the issue before taking action.
That means giving consideration to the impact a cancellation would have on so-called Dreamers—the immigrants who have benefited from the program

How did Roberts become Chief? That should have gone to Stevens or Scalia, who were his seniors. If I remember it
right Roberts was Chief right off the bat.
Explain to me the process.
They are not immigrants.
Immigrants are people who apply for, pay for, wait for and comply with the documents that make them immigrants.
They are illegal aliens, STILL.
Way past time to reel in the arrogant black-robed traitors.
We need to set up an American-style Nuremberg tribunal. Hanging some number of commie/nazi judges would terrify the rogue judges.
The STCOTUS* majority should be considered a terrorist enemy of the United States of America.
*Supremely Traitorous Court of the United States.
Bush nominated Roberts and the Senate confirmed Roberts. One of the worst picks for the Supreme Court.... and even worse to be Chief ...
It didn’t go by order of senior.. he was nominated by the then President.
The Supreme Court has some real bad choices sitting on that court.
I’d give 2 to 1 odds that Trump will figure out a way and PREVAIL.
Who knew Obama was so powerful?
How about OBAMA caused the problem by his illegal actions that caused a situation that didn’t exist before?
