(Washington, DC) — A federal judge is ordering the Trump administration to resume accepting new DACA applicants. The judge rejected the administration’s claim that the Obama-era program protecting immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children is unlawful. He called Trump’s decision to end it “arbitrary” and “capricious.” The ruling marks the third time a federal judge has come down against the administration’s decision. President Trump announced last year that he was rolling back DACA, giving lawmakers six months to come up with a permanent solution.
