This is the Trump administration’s second attempt to sidestep the normal process of appellate review and throw #DACA in front of the Supreme Court before the three federal appellate courts have decided the issues. 2/ #DefendDACA

To #DACA recipients: federal court orders protecting #DACA remain in effect. If you have DACA, or have had DACA in the past, you can still file to renew. Learn more https://www.informedimmigrant.com/guides/daca-renewals-2018/ … or https://unitedwedream.org/renew-my-daca/ 3/

Bottom line: an overwhelming majority of Americans support a permanent solution to protect ~800,000 Dreamers but the Trump administration is actively working to harm them and their families. We can’t allow this. 4/ #DefendDACA

The Trump administration is doing everything it can to harm our nation’s immigrant youth but it can’t take away the bravery and determination of #Dreamers, like NILC’s plaintiffs @antonioalarconc @elianadreams Martin, and the members of @MaketheRoadNY. 5/5

That's easy to figure out. TrumPutin has been obsessed with everything about Obama; whatever Obama is for, TrumPutin is out to destroy.

He's diseased.

I have no doubt he extracted certain promises from Kavanagh and now Brett has to pay up. Or else.

SOMEONE or SOME ENTITY is able to get this abomination out of office, it doesn't seem as though it will change.

Yes, I know there have been small victories in the court system, but we are on a downhill slide. I am hopeful that tomorrow will change some of this, but it will not stop it until this administration is gone from the WH.

Trump is a sadist so cruelty comes naturally to him, but with his base it’s not a byproduct it’s what they’ve buying.
