The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from the Trump administration to decide the legality of the president’s plans to end the Obama-era DACA program affecting young illegal immigrants next month. In an unsigned comment released Monday, the Supreme Court denied the unusual request to take up the issue, saying the appeal should move through the normal appellate process. What made the appeal from the Trump Justice Department unusual is that the administration sought to bypass the federal appeals court in San Francisco and go directly to the Supreme Court. President Trump has set March 5 as the end date for the DACA program, while calling on Congress to come up with a legislative fix. The Supreme Court rarely hears a case before a lower appeals court has considered it.
