On Immigration: DACA phase-out legally correct under administrative law

The Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that protects immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation. After Trump came into office, the administration announced the program had been created "without proper authority" and that DACA would be phased out. The ruling said the administration had failed to provide an adequate reason to justify ending the DACA program.

Justice Kavanaugh wrote a separate dissent praising immigrants, but saying he did not agree with the majority opinion. "They live, go to school, & work here with uncertainty about their futures. Despite many attempts over the last two decades, Congress has not yet enacted legislation to afford legal status to those immigrants," Kavanaugh wrote. He noted that "the only practical consequence of the Court's decision to remand appears to be some delay" because the decision allows "the Department to relabel and reiterate substance."
