Judge Andrew Napolitano recently came to a conclusion that host Stuart Varney of Fox News Varney & Co. didn’t expect. Judge Napolitano believes the recent roadblocks a California judge has thrown in the way of President Trump’s executive order to fundamentally change the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) may actually work in Trump’s favor.
The latest challenge to the President’s decision comes from U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco who issued a temporary injunction halting plans to end the program until a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s decision is resolved.
This means that a judge in California, in effect, ordered the federal government to resume renewing DACA and work authorizations for the 690,000 immigrants who held that status when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end of the program September 5th. Homeland Security officials announced that they will comply with the court order and resume accepting applications to renew work permits for immigrants, also known as “dreamers.”
The DACA program was enacted by former President Barack Obama in 2012. The program has allowed immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as minors, called Dreamers, to be protected from immediate deportation. These dreamers have been able to request “consideration of deferred action” for a period of two years, which is subject to renewal.
