Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients appear to be safe until at least the fall, after the Supreme Court declined the Trump administration’s demand to fast-track the case in the courts. It also deals a defeat to Trump’s dirty attempt to use DACA recipients as bargaining chips in his quest for a useless border wall and other anti-immigrant, anti-asylum demands:
But as Schulte, president of the organization FWD.us, also tweets, the court could still decide to take up the case in its next term, beginning in October, with a decision in early 2020. What DACA recipients need is permanent relief in the form of a pathway to citizenship, not the proposed “deal” that will just put them in the same place they are now three years from now—so they don’t have to keep living their lives from court injunction to court injunction. But in the meantime, the program is safe, so DACA recipients, renew, renew, renew.
