In an order issued on August 3, 2018, Judge John D. Bates of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rejects the government’s request for the court to reconsider its previous decision that the memorandum terminating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program must be vacated, potentially paving the way for the original (2012) DACA program to be fully reinstated. The related cases in which the judge ruled are NAACP v. Trump and Princeton v. Trump, which challenge the Trump administration’s termination of the DACA program. However, the court in DC pauses its order for 20 days (until August 23) to give the federal government the chance to appeal the decision, to request a stay or hold of the reinstatement of the original 2012 DACA program.
