A U.S. appeals court in California ruled on Nov. 8 that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue a program begun under former President Barack Obama that protects hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who were brought into the country illegally as children.
The decision by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals preserves the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program introduced in 2012 that has shielded a group of illegal aliens from deportation and has given them work permits, though not a path to citizenship.
