The Supreme Court may side with President Trump in the  canceling of DACA.


In September, 2017 Homeland security Elaine Duke, announce the cancellation of DACA for one sole reason; "that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional". Since then their have been fear in the Dreamers in what would be their future. This Tuesday the Supreme Court held hearings and was set to get a final verdict in the end of June 2020, in the heat of the 2020 elections. 

Conservative say that the president had all legal right in canceling the DACA program. However, the democrats and the lover courts sated that the decision of ending DACA was "arbitrary and capricious". The battle still stand in whether that President administration followed the requirement in giving a reason of "changes on the sound reasoning that is explained to the public".


Due, to President Trump already leaving his mark in the Supreme Court, the chances of winning is minimal. It is 4 v 5 in the position in the Supreme Court, in where the republicans party have the majority.  Chief Justice John Roberts is the key vote in the final decision. He voted against President Trump in his effort in adding a citizen question in the 2020 census. Even if the court rule in the favor in calcining the DACA, Trump said that he would still negotiate with democrats. Although, he would ask for  fund to his wall.




If the ruling would to favor Trump administration, it would hinder the 700,000 people in DACA, with out a place to in america. But, if a Democrat win the presidential election, the new president could reverse ruling in reenactment of the program.


Can the public appose the ruling of the Supreme Court for it to be reconsidered?

Who is the most likely to win in the supreme court decision?

Do you think that the democrats would need to cave in to President Trump demands to at least give another status to the dreamers? Or would they need to run on a democratic president to win the 2020 election to reverse the decision?


If the Dreamers win, what other tactics do you think President Trump would do to get his funds in building his wall?

  1. 2. The Supreme Court seems inclined to let Trump cancel DACA because of the court's conservative majority. I think the Supreme Court might try to seek a middle ground. The court might ultimately side with the Trump administration, but craft a ruling that demands policymakers to address DACA recipients' status.

  2. 4. I think that Trump will continue to use these outside sources for funding. His big campaign stance was that Mexico will pay for it, but obviously they aren't and will not in the future. Personally, I see Trump going after more income sources like the Pentagon to take money to pay for the wall. I don't think he will be able to get it from the Blue House and it is too unpopular and unnecessary in the long run.

  3. The public's opposition of the supreme court's decision is a factor for reconsideration, but definitely not enough.New legislation would have to be taken, which can be difficult to achieve from a citizen's standpoint.

  4. 1. One of the Supreme Court's defining features is that it is not supposed to bend to popular public opinion. The justices have life-long terms so that they are not worried about reelection, and will therefore not be influenced by the president, congress, or the public.

  5. 1. In this situation, the public really does not have a say in the decision of the Supreme Court. Right now, the SC is majority conservative, so it is not unlikely that the court will side with Trump on the issue of DACA. Like in Fed 78, the court cannot be influences by the public or by other branches of government for it to maintain its integrity. However, a lot of decisions are made based on the climate at the time (like Roe v. Wade), so the social climate will definitely affect the decision that the Court ultimately makes, which allows for indirect opposition of the Supreme Court's ruling.

  6. 1) I don’t think that the Supreme Court decisions can be influenced by the public because the purpose of the Supreme Court is to not vote based on partisanship but rather their interpretations of the law. There could be several protests trying to favor a certain opinion for the case however, the justices’ ideology is ultimately what decides a case not public opinion.

  7. 1. Even if the public made a big uproar apposing DACA, the Supreme Court will most likely not be influenced or change their ruling just to conform to what the public wants. That's exactly why the justices have life terms, which is meant to keep them from any sort of bias from the public or pressure to change their decision.

  8. Before the ruling, interest groups would be able to file amicus curiae briefs to try and influence the judges. However, once they make their decision there is not much the public can do about it, but one possibility could be to find a situation involving DACAs that present them in a different perspective to try and reverse the ruling.

  9. The conservatives are most likely to win the Supreme Court case because the swing vote on the Supreme Court is fairly conservative. Along with that, DACA is a liberal act, and conservatives are generally opposed to anything that is in favor of illegal immigrants. If the justices use judicial activism, DACA would be appealed, but it is contested if they use judicial restrained, it could go either way.
