WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to fast-track cases on the president’s decision to end a program that shields young immigrants from deportation.

The administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to take up three cases about Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in one of the cases in May but hasn’t yet ruled.

The Trump administration had warned that it would ask the high court to step in if the appeals court didn’t rule by Oct. 31. The administration wants a ruling on the issue this term. The high court doesn’t typically take cases before federal appeals courts rule on them.

  1. Ya keep it up Trump
    In addition to crying babies who are being separated from their parents at the border, we’ll have images of successful educated young people being deported to counties they have never known.

  2. Continue showing your mania for hurting innocent, vulnerable people. Let’s see today if that’s something a majority of Americans think is a good thing. Because if it is, this is not the country I thought I once knew. But I’m guessing it isn’t. Most people, by every poll, see the simple justice in DACA. Only the cruel and stupid fail that test.

  3. What’s the rush? And as for the last part, “The high court doesn’t typically take cases before federal appeals courts rule on them.” The Roberts Court has no problem with ignoring precedent.

    Makes sense, then we will not need the lower courts, and just have nine justices, appointed by the President to run the country. Looking forward to the show elections and National Trump day.

    This may still be the country you once knew; guess we’ll get our first clue about that tonight once the results are in. But unfortunately I don’t think this is the SCOTUS you once knew. :frowning:
