U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington DC: "A conclusory assertion that a prior policy is illegal, accompanied by a hodgepodge of illogical or post hoc policy assertions, simply will not do. The court therefore reaffirms its conclusion that DACA’s rescission was unlawful and must be set aside."

U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington, D.C., has ruled for the second time that the Trump administration’s move to end the DACA immigration program was unlawful. The government didn’t offer sufficient reasoning the first time around, according to Bates, and the second attempt didn’t fare any better.
A new memo from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, the judge said, “fails to provide an adequate justification for the decision to rescind DACA.”
