DACA

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is the first appellate court to rule on ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Judges rejected government arguments that the court has no jurisdiction.

The Justice Department has asked the court to decide whether the Trump administration can dismantle the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — without waiting for rulings from lower courts.

It's the third federal court to rule that the government had failed to justify its decision to end the program. The administration has 20 days to appeal, before immigrant protections are reinstated.

Trump said Friday that he would not sign a House GOP immigration bill crafted to meet his policy demands, triggering confusion. Later, a White House spokesman said the president backed the measure.

A new poll shows overall, nearly seven in 10 Ohio voters surveyed say they are very or somewhat satisfied with the way things are going in Ohio right now.…

The bill is an attempt by Republican leaders to find a compromise with moderate GOP lawmakers. The House will vote on two immigration bills next week, including another supported by conservatives.

The move by House GOP leaders late Tuesday night heads off a contentious "discharge petition" effort led by GOP moderates and House Democrats to force immigration votes if no deal is reached.

Some House Republicans are attempting to go around their leaders to pass immigration legislation that would give legal status to DACA recipients.

The U.S. District Court judge put his decision on hold for 90 days to give the Department of Homeland Security time to provide a better explanation as to why the program is unlawful.

DACA would have ended Monday but courts have blocked Trump from phasing out the program that protects childhood arrivals. "It's been quite a roller coaster ride of anxiety," says one advocate.
