A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump does not have the power to legally end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, insisting that protections for these young illegal immigrants must stay.
U.S. District Judge John Bates called the president’s decision to end DACA “arbitrary and capricious because the department failed adequately to explain its conclusion that the program was unlawful,” according to a memorandum opinion.
