A judge rules that the DACA program was unlawful in a significant blow to the Obama-era approach that shielded young people brought to the country illegally from deportation.

Thomas A. Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said DACA is the only way the president can exercise discretion.

"When you're dealing with the number of people that the immigration system has to deal with, you have to make resource decisions," Saenz said."It's hard to imagine an efficient way of doing it otherwise."DACA demonstrators hold their fists in the air while kneeling outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, June 18, 2020.

The Biden administration could act to change the program in a way that would satisfy Hanen’s ruling, but still, the future for many DACA recipients will likely face the Supreme Court once again. The ruling also ramps up pressure on Biden to achieve a legislative victory for DACA recipients, possibly through the reconciliation process., said it was"more important than ever for Congress to pass permanent protections for Dreamers and provide a pathway to citizenship."

Liberalism is a mental disorder

An estimated 20 million Indigenous Americans were killed making this 'great' country.

who is surprised?

Every human is illegal

Well if there's support from both aisle, according to this article, why won't Congress take action on legislation.

😂

Judge Hannon's ruling doesn’t surprise me. He's always ruled against immigration case and anything having to do with immigrants. It's obvious in his past rulings that he is pro-republican causes.

The term isn’t illegal human it’s illegal immigrant. Big difference genius

The ruling is correct. POTUS has no power under the Constitution to enact new immigration law. Same reason Trump couldn't build his wall. Bottom line is Congress needs to act. 6-3 SCOTUS won't help here.

What they should ideally have done is assist them in obtaining legal citizenship, not protecting them while still remaining undocumented. Those kids didn't ask to come here illegally.

Yes, there is such thing as an illegal human.

Why has a judge not ever said this before. Obama broke the laws

This is a HUGE W for our country! Good to see we have judges with common sense!

Obama should not have passed this that is why it keeps coming back.

“Coming 2 America!!!” 👏💐❤️🇺🇸✊💜DefendDACA ✊☮️💪🆓🇺🇸❤️💐

Texas, the new Florida. This shit state become more and more embarrassing each day.

“Unlawful”? Because passing the Act in Congress was held up by a bunch of “unlawful” Rs? I wonder who that judge voted for…

No shit it was illegal. The problem is it took this long to get it through the courts!! Good job protecting Americans!!

NEW: Speaker Nancy Pelosi: 'Democrats will continue to press for any and all paths to ensure that the Dream and Promise Act, now passed twice by the House, becomes the law of the land.'

A Judge? One Man? Gees.

Judge orders end to DACA, current enrollees safe for nowHOUSTON (AP) — A federal judge in Texas on Friday ordered an end to an Obama-era program that prevented the deportations of some immigrants brought into the United States as children, putting new pressure for action on President Joe Biden and Democrats who now control Congress. More nonsense. It will be appealed Each President use the power of Executive Order to enact laws IMMEDIATELY when constitutional protections are warranted. Therefore, why can't POTUS END THE CRAZINESS and sign two Executive Orders to make the John Lewis Voter Rights Bill into law & protect DACA constitutionally? The program should not have been implemented by executive order. Democrats had a super majority when they passed the ACA. They could have addressed the problem, but choose not to.
