Suffice it to say, President Trump has faced more opposition from the courts than any other modern day president.
Especially when it comes to his immigration agenda.
Trump promised during his campaign to reign in illegal immigration and decrease legal immigration.
But he’s had to fight the courts tooth-and-nail every step of the way in order to make that happen.

And now he’s been ordered by an Obama-appointed federal judge to begin processing new DACA applications!
CNN reports the details on the judge’s order:
The Trump administration must begin accepting new applications for the Obama-era program that shields undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children from deportation, a federal judge ruled Friday.
The order comes nearly a month since the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. That ruling emphasized that the administration failed to provide an adequate reason to justify scrapping DACA.
Judge Paul Grimm of the US District Court for the District of Maryland said Friday that the program is to be restored to its “pre-September 5, 2017 status,” meaning the status quo before President Donald Trump tried to terminate it, thereby giving hundreds of thousands of DACA-eligible immigrants the opportunity to apply.
“We are extremely pleased and excited by Judge Grimm’s order, but it’s really just effectuating the decision the Supreme Court made a month ago,” said Nick Katz, senior manager of legal services at CASA, which brought the lawsuit along with other immigrant rights group. “I hope this order makes it clear to (the Department of Homeland Security) that they can’t delay any longer. They need to reopen the program.”
US Citizenship and Immigration Services, part of the Department Homeland Security which administers DACA, said it was reviewing the ruling.
Amid the years-long legal proceedings, DACA recipients have been able to apply for renewal, but new immigrants who met the criteria couldn’t apply.
In all honesty, it makes no sense as to why if Obama had the power to create DACA, that Trump as President shouldn’t have the power to dismantle it.
