The Trump Administration is Openly and Defiantly Ignoring what are now Multiple Court Orders on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program. Despite the Supreme Court’s Ruling last month and then a Federal Judge’s Ruling last Friday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Claimed the Administration was “reviewing the court decision,” like the Order was somehow a Choice.

The Defiance is happening as Experts say there’s No Wiggle Room because the Orders are Clear. The Supreme Court’s June Decision finding the Administration Unlawfully Ended the Program was Certified over a week ago, meaning the Administration had “an unambiguous obligation to fully reinstate DACA,” Experts with the Center for American Progress (CAP) wrote.

Then on Friday, another Court made another Clear Ruling requiring the Administration “to restore DACA to the way it operated before the administration tried to terminate it in the fall of 2017.” That Includes Reopening to Brand New Applicants and Reinstating Advance Parole, which allowed some DACA Recipients to be able to Travel Internationally for Specific Reasons and Return Home to the U.S.

This is Blocking Young Immigrants from their Chance to Apply for Relief, including Work Permits, and Protection from Deportation.

The Courts could Sanction the Administration. “You have a court that's basically said they need to immediately begin authorizing new DACA cases and continue with DACA renewals. That's an order that needs to be executed immediately. I think they could be legitimately sued, and will be sued for contempt of court.” CAP’s Phil Wolgin told The American Prospect

Juliana Macedo do Nascimento, Policy Manager at United We Dream, said ”that she had heard from folks who applied for DACA as soon as the Supreme Court’s decision came out, and at least one was rejected on July 1. But as of July 13, when the Court’s judgement was certified, applications have good standing to be accepted, and if they’re denied, to sue the government for noncompliance with a court order. Our thinking is that they’re going to delay this as much as possible.”
