Watch Live Now: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing oral arguments on DACA

@UNITEDWEDREAM
HAPPENING NOW! The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing oral arguments on President Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Watch below:

Gov't argument via @shobawadhia:

3/ gov't argues end of DACA cannot be reviewed by a Court and finds is compatible with the choice by the Fifth Circuit to review #DAPA because the latter "exceeded" legal authority. gov't says it is okay to have a "zero tolerance" policy on immigration enforcement.

4/ Govt argues DACA is unlawful and not a permissible use of enforcement discretion. For a contrary (and the prevailing) view, read a letter by 105 scholars familiar with the immigration statute here:


5/ Govt argues it is actively considering whether to change the DHS rescission memo in light of the DC decision (third court on DACA who asked the govt to issue a explanation in 90 days)

6/ Govt presses on how the DACA policy does not include #costs when discussing legality For a countervailing view read about the enormous economic contributions of DACA recipients by @CAP

Thank you for the updates. Currently in a meeting and I can't watch the feed.

3 liberal Judges

I am freaking out

The arguments are over now. The government was also complaining on how they are *forced* to keep reviewing applications for renewal. He made it sound as if this was some terrible burden they had to bear.

So?....

It was just a hearing

We will see where this goed

so since this is just a hearing, when will the decision for this be ?

apparently when the SC rejected the administration's direct appeal trying to bypass the lower courts, they said they expected the lower courts to act promptly... so I can't imagine it taking months... probably looking at weeks, but I dunno what the judges will do.
