SCOTUS Rejects DOJ Request to Expedite Decision on DACA

HeadlineJun 04, 2019

The Supreme Court turned down a request by the Justice Department to expedite reviewing a challenge to Trump’s plan to do away with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. A lawyer representing the Trump administration had urged the court to make a decision on whether they will hear the case before the end of the current term later this month. The decision may now be delayed until the next session starts in the fall. Multiple lawsuits followed the Trump administration’s 2017 announcement that it would end DACA, and appeals courts have so far blocked the plan from going ahead.
