And they sent it back to a lower court. But, there’s an issue
Federal appeals court rules Obama-era DACA program illegal, buts says 600,000 already in US can stay
A federal appeals court determined that the Obama administration didn’t have the authority to institute the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program but declined to dismantle it, allowing more than 600,000 immigrants to continue to enjoy its protections.
The 5th U.S. Circuit ordered a review of new changes by the Biden administration to DACA, telling a Texas federal judge to review the program.
A three judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled that while the Obama administration lacked the authority to create the immigration policy which affects over 600,000 people, it didn’t dismantle the program, and people can continue benefiting from the policy.
The panel ruled that the U.S. government cannot process new applicants for individuals seeking DACA benefits.
Um, OK? This is insane. And does show that the whole system is broken. They’re here illegally. The people who brought them are here illegally and benefiting from the kids being here illegally. Obama’s DACA was illegal and unconstitutional, as everyone said from the get go, including Obama. Yet, they’re allowing the illegals to stay, and sending it back to a lower court. This is very, very silly.
The Biden administration presented changes to DACA in August which were open to public comments, but don’t contain substantial modifications to the Obama-era policy and are pointed at legal challenges in relation to the program.
The rule would begin on Oct. 31.
This shouldn’t matter. The whole thing is illegal and unconstitutional.
