Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration To Keep DACA In Place --
"A
federal judge in California ordered the Trump administration on Tuesday
to keep in place the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program,
which protects undocumented immigrants who entered the country as
children from deportation and allows them to work legally, while a
lawsuit proceeds.
The
order, signed by U.S. District Judge Williams Alsup, marks a major
triumph for immigrant rights groups who have rallied around the program
that benefits nearly 700,000 people."
My Comment:
No doubt the racist Trump Justice Department will try to appeal this decision of a lower federal court which will, if let stand, save thousands of lives. The Supreme Court is always a worry. Merrick Garland, Obama's rightful process correct SCOTUS choice was, in historically unique form, derailed by Republicon Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as he waited like a snake stocking its prey to see if Republican Trump was elected. A stroke of luck allowed his mean-spirited calculation to succeed and negated President Obama's rightful choice. Trump was sadly elected and quickly the process correct Obama's SCOTUS choice of excellence, Justice Merrick Garland, was never allowed even a hearing. Neil Gorsuch the right wing extremist Scalia clone, Trump's choice, was seated on the Supreme Court in an effort to swing the Court inhumane right. Justice Kennedy remains progressives' singular lonely choice balancing precariously like a fiddler on the roof making life and death decisions affecting the futures of thousands if not millions of human beings. Justice Kennedy, the tie breaker, has been entrusted with shaping the character of this nation as either one of diversity or of white supremacy.

SCOTUS can let this decision by the lower federal court stand by not hearing it or hear it, let it stand, or overrule it.
Progressives' hearts will
never rest until this Congress is in 2018 overturned, Democrats take power,
Trump is impeached, convicted and removed from office to take his
rightful place in the ash bin of history. Let us pray if you are a
prayerful person that this national nightmare ends and our nation
returns to its quest to become as the Constitutional Preamble states "a
more perfect union."
