Another Trump Win

Judge Reverses Himself, Hands Trump Big DACA Win

U.S. District Judge John Bates said the government does not have to accept new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals requests, on Friday, going back on his initial order from Aug. 3.
Illegal immigrants who were brought over as children, known as “Dreamers,” can renew their DACA applications, but no new requests will be processed, The Associated Press reported.
Bates initially ordered U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to restart DACA by Aug. 23.
Opponents of illegal immigration — and supporters of the president — applauded the ruling.

The judge also delayed providing special protections to DACA recipients.
One of those protections is advance parole, where recipients can travel outside the U.S. and reenter the country, which can sometimes lead to citizenship.

Do you think DACA will eventually disappear entirely?

Government officials said more than 100,000 new DACA applications and 30,000 advance parole requests would occur if DACA were completely rebooted and cause strain on USCIS, The Washington Times reported Saturday.
Bates also feared confusion by restarting DACA even though he said illegal immigrant children were having their rights withheld, according to an opinion.
“Because that confusion would only be magnified if the court’s order regarding initial DACA applications were to take effect now and later be reversed on appeal, the court will grant a limited stay of its order and preserve the status quo pending appeal, as plaintiffs themselves suggest,” Bates said in an opinion Friday, according to The Times.
Bates’ ruling comes as the decision on whether to completely remove DACA looms in Texas. Texas and six other states were in support of making DACA illegal.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, argued that the implementation of DACA was federal overreach and was a financial burden to states, the Dallas Morning News reported on Aug. 8.

Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, which represents DACA recipients in the case, argued that it was six years too late to make such an argument.
There has not been an official decision on the Texas case.
