On Feb. 26, 2018, the Supreme Court declined a request from the Trump administration to immediately review a lower court's decision against their ending of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Efforts on Capitol Hill to revive the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) as part of a broader deal on immigration policy have failed. The court orders effectively block the Trump administration from ending the program on March 5, as planned. No appellate court has reviewed those decisions, and it would have been exceedingly rare for the Supreme Court to take up a case without that interim step. (The Washington Post)The litigation now will take its usual course, and the issue probably won’t return to the Supreme Court before the next term.
