Why Daca's March Deadline Might be Nonexistent after SCOTUS Decision
The Supreme Court declined to take up the Trump Administration's appeal on DACA. The nation's highest court refused to hear Trump's challenge to a lower court ruling that temporarily block the government from winding down the Obama-era immigration program. Rafael Bernal, Staff Writer at The Hill Latino, explains what this means for Congress's March 5 deadline on immigration reform.
"It is definitely a blow to the Trump Administration," says Bernal. "That deadline (March 5) is all-but nonexistent at this point. That was sort-of the last straw for that."
Bernal says the significance of this move by the Supreme Court, is that DACA has essentially not lost a full day in court to date.
Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said the false alarm "may have been a bogus call" but that law enforcement agencies are ready to stop any attempt to disrupt the court case of former President Donald Trump, who was indicted Tuesday on charges of trying to overthrow the 2020 election.
The federal judge assigned to the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump has stood out as one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attack fueled by Trump's baseless claims of a stolen election. She has also ruled against him before.
