U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump over ‘Dreamers’ immigrants
Some analysts believe this is a reprieve for DREAMers for at least a year. It also increases the spotlight on immigration for the coming midterm election.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dealt a setback to President Donald Trump, requiring his administration to maintain protections he has sought to end for hundreds of thousands of DACA protected immigrants brought illegally into the United States as children.
In a brief order, the justices did not explain their reasoning, but said the appeal was “denied without prejudice,” indicating they will maintain an open mind on the underlying legal issue still being considered by a lower court, the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The high court also said it expects the lower court to “proceed expeditiously to decide this case.”
