Supreme Court in waiting game on Trump administration bid to end DACA

There are several theories for the high court's reluctance to get involved:

Quote:

Several court cases are still pending. Federal appeals courts in New York and the District of Columbia have yet to rule on the issue. Another federal appeals court in Texas is considering a separate lawsuit filed by states opposed to DACA.

There is no "circuit split." The Supreme Court is more likely to consider a case when regional appeals courts have ruled differently on an issue. In this case, that would mean the DACA program would be legal in some states and illegal in others.

The administration's plan to add a question on citizenship to the 2020 census is pending before the court, with a decision expected in the next few weeks. Like DACA, the case hinges on whether the administration followed proper administrative procedures. The justices could rule on the census and send the DACA cases back to appeals courts with instructions to take that ruling into consideration.

It's also possible that if no appeals court upholds the administration's plan to end the program, the justices could refuse to hear the case. That would leave DACA intact and represent a victory for immigration rights groups.
