They have to go through the process of the courts to repealing a law! Trump will now slam the Supreme Court for their ruling!

2. Not sure! Just heard it!

3. So it will not expire next month as trump planned?

[imanamerican63]

4. Yep!

[Fred Sanders]

10. Per lower court rulings DACA remains in place as is. Usual court process and appeals will apply.

SCOTUS has not allowed a direct appeal to be heard since 2003, so not a surprise, but great news.

Years before the matter winds its way back up to them...and they seem reluctant to strike DACA as Trump illegally wants to do.

No wonder he hates the rule of law, it is a pesky thing to wannabe dictators.

5. Wow this is great news!! I feel relief, I can only imagine what Dreamers feel!! Just so much

going on...and then now this coming to a head too!! Thank goodness for a reprieve for now, of course we know the fight is nowhere near over.

6. Great news!

7. Dreamers

My understanding is that it makes the March 5 date moot. The pertinent Appeals Court will decide next, but this is a major loss for Trump, as he cannot now use the March 5 deadline to hold dreamers hostage in order to get his wall.

8. Temporarily preserves the status quo and continues the uncertainty

The Supreme Court declined the request Monday with no justices dissenting. The high court could still weigh in later, but the move suggests the justices want to allow one or more appeals courts to take up the question before considering it.

The justices’ action is a mixed bag for the immigrants known as Dreamers. It means that as the legal process grinds on in federal courts, people who received work permits and protection from deportation through DACA will likely be able to keep renewing their participation. The work permits, which grant legal work authority in the U.S., are good for two years.

However, the high court’s decision to pass up the issue for now reduces the urgency of the drive in Congress to craft a legislative solution to the problem. That effort appeared to result in stalemate earlier this month after three different proposals failed to advance in the Senate.
