US government ordered to reinstate protections for 'Dreamers'
2020-12-05
[Jpost] DACA protects 'dreamers,' immigrants colonists who arrived in the US as children from deportation and grants work permits to hundreds of thousands of immigrants colonists.

In a rebuke to President Donald Trump

's administration, a judge on Friday ordered the US government to reopen to first-time applicants a program that protects from deportation and grants work permits to hundreds of thousands of 'dreamers,' immigrants colonists who live in the United States unlawfully after arriving as children.

in 2012. The Supreme Court in June blocked Trump's 2017 bid to end DACA. His administration, however, continued its policy of not accepting new applications for the program.

, who takes office on Jan. 20, has said he plans to revitalize DACA.

Garaufis directed the Department of Homeland Security to post a public notice "displayed prominently" on its websites by Monday announcing that it is accepting new DACA applications. The judge also ordered that the notice make clear that employment authorization under DACA would last for two years rather than one.

The Supreme Court decided that the administration's attempt to end DACA was "arbitrary and capricious" and violated federal law. Following the ruling, acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf in July issued a memo that continued to block new applications to the program while he subjected it to a "full reconsideration." The memo also limited employment authorization to one year and curtailed recipients' ability to travel outside the United States.

Garaufis found in November that Wolf had been unlawfully appointed to his post, meaning he did not have the authority to issue the July DACA memorandum.

DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump's administration had argued that Obama exceeded his constitutional powers when he created DACA by executive action, bypassing Congress. Obama created DACA after Congress failed to pass bipartisan legislation to overhaul US immigration policy. DACA recipients often are called "Dreamers" based on the name of legislation considered but never passed in Congress.

LOL. What other nation would legalize criminal entry by foreigners with such a bullshit court decision as this?

Banana republic time in the USA

#4  These "judges for life" gotta go. But who is letting them get away with legislating from the bench?

#3  Its an executive order canceling another, illegal, executive order.
Where does the judge have standing? And since when do judges dictate policy?

#1  So a judge blocks the un-doing of an executive action overriding the expressed will of Congress?

And SCOTUS did essentially the same thing three years ago?

I suppose the official rationale is, "We're a nation of immigrants".
