Court orders full restoration of DACA program

A federal judge in New York ruled Tuesday that the government must fully restart the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty and accept brand new applicants as well as renewals, throwing a potential wrench in the ongoing debate over the fate of “Dreamers” on Capitol Hill.

Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis said the administration does have the power to revoke DACA, but it must give a sound reason for doing so — and the Homeland Security Department’s September 2017 rationale fell far short of what is required in that regard.

He becomes the second judge to rule President Trump’s aides bungled the phaseout — but his decision is the most wide-ranging, ordering the government to not only allow those already in the program to renew their applications but also ordering the government to accept new applications.

This idiot judge legislates from the bench again.

Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis said the administration does have the power to revoke DACA, but it must give a sound reason for doing so —

President's response: Because I said.

Overturned.

Just proves the old saying, “There is nothing so PERMANENT as a TEMPORARY Federal program!”

Nuremberg style treason trials and hangings on the national mall is the only way America can survive

The Constitution is explicit on this:

ONLY THE CONGRESS HAS THE POWER TO SET IMMIGRATION POLICY, NOT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, AND MOST CERTAINLY NOT THE JUDICIAL BRANCH.....................

[ilovesarah2012]

Appointed by Bill Clinton. Shocked!

[The Toll]

Give a reason to who?

These lefty judges need to suffer horrible fates.

[Political Junkie Too]

So the rationale that it is unconstitutional is not good enough?

...it must give a sound reason...

How about the Constitutional one?
This guy must have missed that class in law school. He should be ignored.

DACA is not a law. Ignore the judges that think it is.

They can try, but they do not have the power to do so.

Just ignore the idiots.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

A display of judicial vigilantism.

[glennaro]

Judge Goofis clearly doesn’t understand the Constitutional limits to his authority (i.e., “power”, in the minds of the Left).

[Spruce]

It is an Executive Order. How does this dink have any jurisdiction?
