Supreme Court Ruling Could Impact the Future of DACA

By Carl Shusterman
On June 18, 2020, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration's termination of the Deferred Action for Children Arrivals (DACA) program violated Federal law.

In a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court held that the Department of Homeland Security's decision violated the Administrative Procedures Act.

The majority opinion explained that the Court's role is to determine whether an agency made its decision “based on a consideration of the relevant factors and whether there has been a clear error of judgment.”
