Supreme Court lifts orders to disclose DACA cancellation records
A sharply divided Supreme Court on Friday lifted orders the Trump administration was facing to turn over more records detailing the decision to terminate the Obama-era program that offers quasi-legal status and work permits to so-called Dreamers.
The justices voted, 5-4, to grant a temporary stay of orders that a San Francisco federal judge issued requiring federal officials to provide internal legal analyses, studies and other materials the administration gathered in advance of the decision announced in September to wind down the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.
The Trump administration complained that the orders from U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup issued in connection with five pending lawsuits over the cancellation would require officials to review more than 1.6 million documents, diverting the resources of the Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department. Federal government lawyers also complained that the disclosures intruded on executive branch officials’ ability to obtain confidential advice....
...A Justice Department spokesman welcomed the court’s action.
“The Department of Justice is pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision today putting on hold the district court’s overreach,” department spokesman Devin O’Malley said. “The Department of Homeland Security acted within its lawful authority in deciding to wind down DACA in an orderly manner, and the Justice Department believes the courts will ultimately agree.”
The ruling is a temporary one pending further action on the case by the high court.
The suits challenging the cancellation of DACA are expected to move forward in district courts in California and New York as the high court continues to wrestle with the document issue...
America, **** yeah!
