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.

Great. I wonder if CJ Roberts will somehow manage to bungle this one up, too.🤦♀️
We have a ‘Judicial Coup’ in progress.
“Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis said the administration does have the power to revoke DACA, but it must give a sound reason for doing so —...”
Obama can create it by Presidential decree but it cannot be revoked by a Presidential decree without a “sound reason”. We can quess who decides whether the reason is sound. Unless there is some statute that supports the judges requirement he should be removed from the bench.
Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis! How many divisions has he got?
1. - Because a president does not have the constitutional power or authority to create such a law!
2. - Because a judge does not have the constitutional power to create such a law or to order a president to perform an unconstitutional act.
SINCE WHEN DOES THE JUDICIARY LEGISLATE OVER A PRESIDENT ?
Wait....you mean throngs of NON-paid American citizens, coming from across these fruited plains....on their own dime, aren’t marching in front of these two judged homes demanding that our Constitution and Rule of Law are followed???
the intrusion into executive orders and immigration which is related to national security is very disturbing. And as liberals know, there are hundreds of judges who will hear anything they propose.
Ping!!
How come the F’n RATS can find judges to block Trump’s actions but the F’n Repubs could never find judges to block OBASTURD’s unconstitutional actions?
Won’t surprise me if some low-level federal judge decides that he has the authority to overrule SCOTUS . . . yep, that is where I see our country going - it was just curtailed a little under Trump.
Well we have 3 equal branches of Government. Trump needs to tell these judges to go to *ell. President Trump has the actual law on his side. These judges need to be removed for abuse of power.
DACA was Illegal from the get go....
And then we have:
“but it must give a sound reason for doing so”
What law does the judge state to support such a statement.
Trump doesn't even owe this crack-pot judge a courtesy FU.
Legal rulings have to be grounded in actual law. What law is this ruling grounded in? None, I say.
DACA was an executive order, put in place by the prior president. As such, the current president has full authority to cancel it.
We need to go back to the days when "judges" like this were run out of town ahead of a bunch of pitchforks and torches ... if they were lucky.
I’m sure it’s been asked before...
But if the democrats are so absolutely sure that their policies are what America wants, why are they so desperate for non Americans to be here to vote for them?
The president has deferred to the court before on matters of national security (immigration bans) why would he step up now?
Would be a shame if patriots started retiring activist judges.
Why even have elections? Just let the judges run the place.
