Supreme Court blocks Trump plan to end DACA program

Quote
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to block the Trump administration from ending an Obama-era program that shields nearly 700,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation, upending a key feature of President Trump’s immigration agenda.

In a 5-4 decision, the justices said the administration failed to give an adequate justification for terminating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, as required by federal law.

Supreme Court rules against Trump administration bid to end DACA program
Fox News, Jun 18, 2020

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday against the Trump administration’s effort to end the Obama-era program that offers protections to young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.

The court ruled that the administration's decision to rescind the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program violated the Administrative Procedure Act.

In a 5-4 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal members to author the opinion, the court said the move to eliminate the program that grants privileges to children who entered the U.S. illegally as minors was "arbitrary and capricious," although they did not rule on the merits of the program itself.

"We do not decide whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies. 'The wisdom' of those decisions 'is none of our concern,'" Roberts wrote in his opinion. "We address only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action."

Roberts wrote that the administration "failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance," as well as the impact the decision would have on DACA recipients who have relied on the program.

"That dual failure raises doubts about whether the agency appreciated the scope of its discretion or exercised that discretion in a reasonable manner," Roberts wrote. "The appropriate recourse is therefore to remand to DHS so that it may consider the problem anew."

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the dissent, saying: "These cases could—and should—have ended with a determination that his legal conclusion was correct. Instead, the majority today concludes that DHS was required to do far more."

He continued: "Without grounding its position in either the APA or precedent, the majority declares that DHS was required to overlook DACA’s obvious legal deficiencies and provide additional policy reasons and justifications before restoring the rule of law. This holding is incorrect, and it will hamstring all future agency attempts to undo actions that exceed statutory authority. I would therefore reverse the judgments below and remand with instructions to dissolve the nationwide injunctions.”

What a convoluted decision.  Makes me wonder if the President will take another crack at this in his second term.

All I know so far is that Roberts wrote the majority opinion.  I will be curious to see how Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch voted.  If they sided with the majority, I would put the blame on them too.

Roberts was sold as a conservative jurist, but he was merely a registered Republican.  As we all know now, being a Republican does not mean being conservative.    The party is infested with flaming liberals and has been for many years.  We just didn't know it till recently.

‘Wow’: Democrats celebrate high court ruling protecting 'Dreamers'
by Susan Ferrechio, Chief Congressional Correspondent |
 | June 18, 2020 11:36 AM


Democrats celebrated a Thursday Supreme Court ruling protecting “Dreamers” from deportation with “tears of joy” and “a sigh of relief” and said the court was delivering surprising rulings they were happy to support.

“I cried tears of joy a few minutes ago when I heard the decision of the Supreme Court on DACA,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said in a Senate floor speech.

Schumer said the court “provided a bright ray of sunshine this week” with its decisions.

In addition to upholding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the Supreme Court ruled federal law protected LGBTQ workers from discrimination.

“Who would have thought it would have had so many good decisions in one week?” Schumer said. “Who would have thought. Wow.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said polls showed the vast majority of people supported legalizing Dreamers.

"The DACA decision is something that supports our values as a country," said Pelosi, a California Democrat. "We were in such dread about what could possibly happen in the court. But this way is the American way. And we are very proud of it."

From The Thomas dissent:

Quote
DACA alters how the immigration laws apply to a certain class of aliens. “DACA [recipients] primarily entered the
country either by overstaying a visa or by entering without inspection, and the INA instructs that aliens in both classes
are removable.” Texas v. United States, 328 F. Supp. 3d
662, 713 (SD Tex. 2018) (footnote omitted).

But DACA granted its recipients deferred action, i.e., a decision to “decline to institute [removal] proceedings, terminate [removal] proceedings, or decline to institute a final order of [removal].” Reno v. American-Arab Anti-Discrimination
Comm., 525 U. S. 471, 484 (1999) (internal quotation marks omitted). Under other regulations, recipients of deferred
action are deemed lawfully present for purposes of certain federal benefits. See supra, at 4. Thus, DACA in effect created a new exception to the statutory provisions governing removability and, in the process, conferred lawful presence on an entire class of aliens. To lawfully implement such changes, DHS needed a grant of authority from Congress to either reclassify removable DACA recipients as lawfully present, or to exempt the entire class of aliens covered by DACA from statutory removal procedures. No party disputes that the immigration statutes lack an express delegation to accomplish either result. And, an examination of the highly reticulated immigration regime makes clear that DHS has no implicit discretion to create new classes of lawful presence or to grant
relief from removal out of whole cloth. Accordingly, DACA is substantively unlawful.


This conclusion should begin and end our review. The decision to rescind an unlawful agency action is per se lawful. No additional policy justifications or considerations are necessary. And, the majority’s contrary holding—that an
the agency is not only permitted but required, to continue an ultra vires action—has no basis in law.

HE is exactly right!

I hope he does.   The problem with rescinding an EO of this kind is that thousands have changed their position as the result of the EO.   All that have come forward have exposed their illegal status but for the EO's protection.

It is hardly a radical notion to require that, when a law changes,  you don't leave high and dry those who relied (in good faith) on the prior law to order their lives.

Why does Roberts' recognition that abolishing DACA will jeopardize the expectations of those who came forward in good faith reliance,  and place them at renewed legal risk,  mean that he is not a "constitutional conservative"?

To me,  recognizing the principle of detrimental reliance is inherently conservative,  as a protection of the innocent from the arbitrary power of government.

Think if you will, back to 2006, now I don't remember John Robert's appointment perfectly, but I do remember it, and IIRC any criticism of Bush was due to "Bush Derangement syndrome" and we were a part of Code Pink to question Bush in any way. This was prior to his signing/support of the amnesty bill, before conservatives broke with him in mass.

I'm apparently in the minority when it comes to Ted's beard and I've probably insulted every man on this forum who sports a beard.  I'm sorry, but I just don't like beards.  Perhaps you can wear a beard well -- some men can -- but most of the ones I've seen who sport a beard look terrible. 

My brother, for instance.  He grows a beard starting every fall.  He is a skier and he says the extra fur protects his face from the elements when he's on the slopes.  Ok, I'll buy that.  Only...my brother's beard is never even.  One side of his face might have a full beard, but the other side is sparse and straggly.  He could, I suppose, even out both sides. but he doesn't.  And he too looks like a homeless person.  Right now he's clean shaven for summer and his wife is a happy camper -- she doesn't like his beard either.  But in a few months, he will look like a homeless person again.  Ugh!

That all said -- and getting back to the original topic -- bravo to Ted.  His speech was spot on.

It is a cultural thing... Many folks are not into a natural man.
I catch a lot of heck in the cowboy community. Cowboys as a rule remain clean shaven... But they tolerate my hillbilly tendencies. There is great equanimity between cowboys, farmers and hill folk. Women though, not so much. Cowgirls demand a clean-shaven man, for the most part.  So I tend toward HillJillys, who prefer their men entirely natural. The last gal I was with mourned my absent fur in the summer, and could not wait for my hair to grow back. I tried to keep it on for her, but nope. She was overjoyed when it got long enough I could put my throat patch back on (Native decoration she made for me - Looks dumb without the hair)

No, really.  :laugh:

I have a similar problem - the right side of my face having been subjected to road rash... It eventually catches up, but it is more sparse in the growing of it till it gets full.

Yes, he can eliminate the program.  But he has to address the situations of those who relied on DACA to change their legal position.   No one likes a bait and switch,  especially when the potential consequence is loss of job and deportation.

   Trump will try again, after the election, and I suspect he won't screw it up this time.

Yes, he can eliminate the program.  But he has to address the situations of those who relied on DACA to change their legal position.   No one likes a bait and switch,  especially when the potential consequence is loss of job and deportation.

You are carving legal justifications out of thin air.

Congress, Presidents, even the SCOTUS changes law all the time without considering the consequences of those affected.

The baker silliness is in no way similar to the legal equivalent of a bait and switch.   Roberts made clear in the opinion that the issue of reliance was unaddressed. 

What if you complied with a law requiring you to do certain things to be able to carry a firearm in public,  and then the solons abolished that law with no replacement?    Unless you're grandfathered,  you've been screwed.    The essence of conservative jurisprudence is respect for the right of the individual against the arbitrary whims of the state.   Those who registered with DACA put their necks on the line for government dispensation.   Now the government can renege on the deal?

Ideally, this should have been dealt with by congress with the president's influence when Republicans held the majority in both houses of congress plus the presidency.  But as with everything else they promised -- they did nothing. 

Trump could write another EO, but given his track record with those, I don't have much confidence he will succeed next time.  And with the house in Dem hands and the possibility the Republicans will lose control of the senate -- well, I think we can forget about any effort to fix our illegal immigration mess -- DACA included. 

Let's face it -- the Republican Party had their chance.  They blew it.  The Dems will get to keep all these new voters and will rule this country for generations.

I have outlived most of my friends. Dad was the same. It is the Neanderthal DNA. I am sturdily built with especially strong legs and large head. I always thought for enhanced thinking. Well sometimes I have enhanced thinking. It would seem that Roberts has defective genes I surmise not a singular Neanderthal gene to be found, that defect could lead to self removal.

It is a natural process with the choices from those defects that become quickly apparent, reminding us all to select better stock for president. That is, no more presidential Rinos or any Rinos.

We have suffered long with Supreme Ginsburg, who appears to be slowly giving it up. Maybe November will be a trifecta.

Roberts spelled "penalty" T A X and upheld one of the most disastrous crap bits of legislation, ever, costing millions of Americans any health insurancethey had.

Recently he rewrote "sex" (as used, the obvious original intent of the legislation being a "binary" biological determination of male versus female) into an act, a preference, an "identification", a practice, in order to encompass the right of perverts and sick people to a job anywhere.

That's a dream, but you forget the political ecology of Washington DC is an intricate balance of everyone knowing dirt on everyone else. They, with rare exception have dirt on each other. Not just ordinary 'paid to have a parking ticket ignored' event (that's a perk, anyway), but the sort of Federal hard time career-ending dirt (unless they are Democrats, then it's called a resume).

Recall, the first thing Hillary did was grab over 900 FBI raw data files on Republicans, both the powerful and the up-and-comers, which provides a wealth of rumor and gossip, as well as some hard info that can be turned to political advantage. They even know where to look for the poster children to make 11th hour allegations in election years.
They carefully avoid digging up each other's graveyards. Once it is out, there's no leverage.

Anyway, that delicate balance of not spilling the beans on people who might spill beans back (or have a mentor who will) is one of the reasons nothing seems to ever get rolled back, even when the opportunity is presented, not to mention why people like Epstein ("service providers" whose only power is having dirt on everyone) wake up dead in the morning if they are caught, lest they spill the beans they have.

Despite us knowing full well that frequent flyers for such providers have abundant reason for being relieved at the thought of convenient accidents, plane crashes, and yes, even 'suicides', the obvious layer yet unturned is whether they were the only, or even the most motivated to celebrate the unfortunate passing of some potential bean-spiller in a botched robbery, accident, of fire.

It's more pervasive than most would like to believe, and both sides of the aisle are involved. We just tend to blame the 'other guys'.
So, it is likely the people still surviving who have any dirt on Roberts either would go down as a result of releasing that dirt, criminally in court, or criminally, in their untimely but 'convenient' demise, with the exception of those who value it for leverage or potential reprisal.

  1. The number one issue behind the ass-kicking that the GOP took in the midterms of 2018 was healthcare.
  2. As of now, the GOP has no viable alternative plan to the ACA
  3. Yet, the GOP is trying to end the ACA. During a pandemic. When millions have lost their jobs (and job-based healthcare).
  4. The Democrats are likely going to run on the issue of healthcare again in the autumn.
  5. Are all these suppositions correct, or am I missing something?

 


NOT-AFFORDABLE...was NEVER about health.  It was a ploy for re-distribution of wealth and to put in 18,19 new taxes and JOB KILLING REGULATIONS.   The mandated, makes it a dictator event.  LENIN used 'heath' as a way to control people for 70 years.  PRESIDENT Trump was able to remove the ugly mandate part. NO PENALTY.  He has reworked it some, to allow those still on it, for some benefits.  We never needed this, not about health, health plan.  POTUS also removed the job killing REGULATIONS, as company's' could not grow and people could NOT work a 40 hour job.   The people needed, 2 to 3 part time jobs, to survive.  (Artificial jobs increase)  The many millions of dollars it required to implement this on computer , went to Mancheel Obama, school friend in Canada. Remember all the glitches? 
We have medicaid.  That is welfare and each state has their own budget for this freebie.  Illegals have run it out in Arizona and probably other states.  MEDICARE, monthly paid  premium to government health care, mostly for the  elderly. Co-pays and deductibles. INDIGENT CARE, comes from the years property taxes, as homeowner.  Emergency care.  No one can be turned away.  Military (Tri-care ? ) health insurance.  Veterans health care.  PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE.  FREE CLINICS. PLANNED PARENTHOOD, PAID ON SLIDIG SCALE FOR WOMEN TO USE. CATHOLIC CHARITYS. 

ACA is just another MEDICAID plan.  WE DON'T NEED IT.   Again, not about 'health'.  Need to stop thinking of it as any kind  of "care".  UNIONS have their health care plans too.  (blue color workers, construction)  CULINARY UNONS.  Nothing about Obamacare was good. You also were mandated to give all your health issues to them.  Cancer was redefined under ACA. to avoid treatment payment.  Remember Obama, " no surgery, you may only need a pill"?  THOUSANDS of IRS agents were hired to be gestapo and make sure you paid.  When ACA was on the floor for total REPEAL, the ONE vote that destroyed that plan, was John McCain. No-name. Screwed over the American people. Please, don't believe socialized health care means better treatment or care.  How does government run the post office?  Any program, before TRUMP?  He fixed the V.A. for Veterans.  Then 'the right to try' for people who are told terminal.  One does not have to travel or go to Europe to find the best cure or help from cancer, now.  It can be done in USA .

AGAIN...obamcare was NEVER about health.  Wrong premiss.   I like private health insurance. One can buy catastrophic insurance if young.    And NO, 2018 was NOT about health care.  2018 WAS PURE VOTER FRAUD BY DEMON-RATS. IT WAS PROVEN. BRENDA SNIPES.  Voter fraud , is the ONLY way demon-rats can get into office. PROVEN TOO?  PROJECT VERITAS, O'KEEFE.   This is all by memory.  There is more, but this should address most of your desires/issues.

Sounds unstable. He should resign immediately and seek professional help.

Correct.  He sees people sitting in chairs, that aren't there.  HALLUCINATIONS. Could be early Parkinson's, for sure, some mental issue.  Like DEMENTIA PELOSI, who thinks BUSH is still president, neither care about America.  (skips over the obama years.)

@LegalAmerican

Thank you for the reply.
I have to disagree with you. Are you saying that a man as brilliant, as genius (DID YOU SEE HIS SCORE ON THE COGNITIVE TEST?) as President Donald JOHN Trump would let the DEMON-RATS, led by the enfeebled NANCY PELOUSY steal an election? SERIOUSLY? That a true fighter, a PATRIOT who loves this country such as POTUS #45 would sit idly by and let the DIMS take control of the House by cheating? Nay, I say, NAY! President Trump would use EVERY MEANS at his disposal, the full weight of his investigatory powers to root out such nefariousness. I have TOO MUCH FAITH in the President's STRENGTH, HIS FORESIGHT, HIS MENTAL ACUITY, and HIS LEADERSHIP to even consider such a possibility. You are severely UNDERESTIMATING how special a man that our POTUS truly is. SHAME!

???? Correct me if I am wrong, but overseeing elections is not a duty of the executive branch.  Federal elections are conducted by state and local governments. Election laws are determined at the state level. Each county has a supervisor of elections.

Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder arrested in $60 million bribery case (https://www.dispatch.com/news/20200721/ohio-house-speaker-larry-householder-arrested-in--60-million-bribery-case)

Must be an Ohio style republican.  Much like the son of a mailman former governor of that state.
