A second U.S. judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s decision to end the DACA program. U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis in Brooklyn ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program cannot end in March as planned.

Trump’s “unlawful order” ending the DACA program? The program isn’t even law.
Clinton appointed Judge orders the government to not only allow those already in DACA to renew their applications but also orders the government to accept new applications. More judicial tyranny. https://t.co/gW7OP4xxXh

The Washington Times reports:
Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis said the administration does have the power to revoke DACA, but it must give a sound reason for doing so — and the Homeland Security Department’s September 2017 rationale fell far short of what is required in that regard.
He even used Mr. Trump’s own tweets as evidence that the DACA program was ended precipitously, pointing to President Trump’s claims that he could “revisit this issue” as proof the program could have been continued.
The judge said that the administration doesn’t have to approve any specific DACA applications but must begin to process applications again.
The Supreme Court on Friday is scheduled to consider whether to take up the Trump administration’s appeal to a similar ruling Jan. 9 by U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco.

This is un-Constitutional and everyone knows it. This needs a Congress fix. Supreme Court should fastrack this and I bet it is 9-0. https://t.co/6QflPCnDEV

DACA was illegal from the beginning. Barack Obama bypassed Congress and issued an unconstitutional Executive Order. How is any of this happening? Pure insanity! https://t.co/5ajrwLhUl0

Serious question. How can a judge rule on an illegal law? https://t.co/6iUlbcxCkO

Again I ask, if DACA is unlawful, how can recinding DACA also be unlawful? These judges must be held accountable for legislating from the bench. https://t.co/aGlBNOw3UW

The notion that any POTUS lacks the executive authority to rescind any executive order (guidance) by another POTUS is prima facie absurd. https://t.co/xYW27ceedF

Something needs to be done about these rogue judges. Trump should ignore this B.S. His authority over immigration is granted by the Constitution, not by some rumpswab "judge." https://t.co/ooMR7e3SBJ
