The Trump administration acted in an "arbitrary and capricious" manner when it sought to end the Obama-era program, the three-judge panel said.

RICHMOND, Va. The federal appeals court ruled Friday the Trump administration acted in an "arbitrary and capricious" manner when it sought to end an Obama-era program that shields young immigrants from deportation.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2 to 1 that the Trump administration violated federal statue when it tried to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program without adequately explaining why. The ruling overturns a lower court ruling a judge in Maryland made last year, which Trump had previously praised via Twitter.
Friday's ruling will not have any immediate effect as other federal courts have already ordered that DACA be kept in place.
The 4th Circuit ruling said the Department of Homeland Security did not "adequately account" for how ending DACA program would affect the hundreds of thousands of young people who "structured their lives" around the program.
"This ruling is the result of a long and valiant battle that our Dreamers have endured in their struggle to keep their families together," said Lizette Olmos, a spokeswoman for Casa de Maryland, the lead plaintiff in the case.
Trump and his Justice Department have argued that the Obama administration acted unlawfully when it implemented DACA. The Justice Department did not immediately return a request for comment.
Preserving DACA is a top Democratic priority, but discussions between Trump and Democrats on the issue have gone nowhere.

(16,254 posts)1. Trump isn't having much luck when it comes to decisions from the courts.
It would be interesting to learn how many of these decisions are being made by his appointees.
Hopefully, he is tiring of repealing Obama's programs. His determination to wipe out Obama's legacy is sick and evil.
