The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to hear the Trump administration's appeal of a federal judge's ruling that requires the government to keep the DACA program going.
Under a lower court order that remains in effect, the Department of Homeland Security must continue to accept applications to renew DACA status from the roughly 700,000 young people, known as Dreamers, who are currently enrolled. The administration's deadline of March 5, when it intended to shut the program down, is largely meaningless.
The court's denial was expected, because the justices rarely accept appeals asking them to bypass the lower courts.
On January 9, a federal judge in San Francisco ruled in favor of the University of California, and its president, former Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano. They sued to keep the program going, after the Trump administration said in September that it would end it within six months. Judge William Alsup said Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrongly concluded that DACA was put in place without proper legal authority.
The Justice Department immediately said it would contest that ruling before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California. But government lawyers also asked the Supreme Court to take take the highly unusual step of agreeing to hear the case, bypassing the appeals court.
Monday's action by the Supreme Court leaves the DACA challenge pending before the California appeals court, where it is in the very early stages. The Justice Department has said it would take at least another year to get back to the Supreme Court for a decision on DACA's future.
