Federal Judge Blocks Trump From Ending DACA

On Tuesday, a San Francisco federal district court judge enjoined—that is, blocked—Trump’s attack on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. This injunction is temporary, in place until the court rules on the substance—or the merits—of the challenge to Trump’s plan to terminate DACA.

The good news is by granting a preliminary injunction the judge has indicated that he thinks DACA’s backers are likely to prevail. The bad news is that the injunction isn’t complete.
