Gideon Resnick, political reporter for The Daily Beast, discusses the Supreme Court's decision to not hear the Trump administration's appeals argument on DACA. This move essentially eliminates the March 5th deadline instated by President Trump last year.
Resnick digs into the implications of the decision that leaves the fate of Dreamers in the hands of Congress or in the hands of the courts. It could take up to a year for DACA to get resolved.
Resnick also comments on the state of gun reform in the wake of the Parkland, Florida school shooting as students continue to protest.

A monthslong calm on Wall Street was shattered, with U.S. stocks falling on the news. The Chinese Embassy in Washington hasn't responded to an Associated Press request for comment.

A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
