Supreme Court leaves injunction in place preventing Trump from unwinding DACA

The Supreme Court on Monday delivered a blow to the Trump administration by refusing to hear the government's challenge to a lower court ruling that has temporarily blocked the administration from winding down the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The Department of Justice’s request was rare in that it asked the Supreme Court to jump ahead of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in reviewing the case.

The court typically will only bypass an appellate court when there’s an emergency involving foreign affairs, a serious separation of powers concerns or when it has already agreed to hear another case dealing with the same question.

3. if i understand correctly, they can still appeal to the 9th circuit court, and then to the supremes?

4. Yes but without Accelerated Time Periods

on the normal appellate docket it might take 6 months before the appellate record is prepared, and the brief, responses and replies are filed in the Case. Then its put on the Court's normal hearing docket which might be 2-3 more months. Even after the hearing it might take another few weeks or even months before a written opinion is released. Then there are post-judgment motions and appeals. Its generally a slow track.
