The Department of Justice has come to Trump’s defense over his decision to end the DACA program put into place under the Obama administration.
In a legal brief submitted to the Supreme Court, the DOJ stated that Trump “correctly, and at a minimum reasonably, concluded that DACA is unlawful.”
In 2012, Obama had enacted an executive order to rule out the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, which gives illegal immigrants that came to the U.S. as children the ability to get a work permit and a renewable 2-year reprieve from deportation.
President Trump wants to end this program, for obvious reasons, but after push-back, the decision has gone to the Supreme Court to reach a final conclusion.
