Judge rebukes feds over statement slamming Supreme Court's DACA ruling
A federal judge reprimanded the Trump administration Thursday over an unusual statement a Department of Homeland Security official issued in June declaring that the Supreme Courts recent decision on the so-called DACA program has no basis in law.
During a hearing Thursday on lawsuits seeking to preserve the program, U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas Garaufis said he was taken aback by the defiant tone of the response U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow released after the high court issued its unexpected, 5-4 decision rejecting the Trump administrations bid to phase out the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Garaufis said the language was uncalled for and disturbing, coming from an executive branch official, and he asked Justice Department attorney Stephen Pezzi to explain.
Im just wondering how a decision by the Supreme Court could be deemed by a federal agency to have no basis in law. Can you explain that to me, Mr. Pezzi? the judge said.
