Washington (CNN)A three-judge federal appeals panel on Friday expressed skepticism over the Trump administration's reasoning for terminating the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The hearing in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit centered around the administration's rationale to end DACA, not the legality of the DACA program itself.
"Your starting premise here is respectively wrong," Judge Harry Edwards said to the Justice Department lawyer, urging him to explain how the administration came to the conclusion that DACA should be rescinded.
Judge Thomas Griffith repeatedly said he was "frustrated" with the government's argument, which evolved from initial memos about the legality of the program to factoring in other reasons to end it.

The plaintiffs in the case include the NAACP, Princeton University and Microsoft.
Last year, the district court for the District of Columbia blocked the plan to end the program. Judge John Bates called the move "arbitrary and capricious."
