#Trump says he will renew efforts to end DACA after Supreme Court ruling

President Donald Trump said Friday he would renew efforts to end DACA — the Obama-era program that shields undocumented immigrants who came to America as minors from being deported — a day after the Supreme Court blocked his first try.

In a Friday morning tweet, the president said, “The Supreme Court asked us to resubmit on DACA, nothing was lost or won.”

“They ‘punted,’ much like in a football game (where hopefully they would stand for our great American Flag),” he added. “We will be submitting enhanced papers shortly in order to properly fulfil [sic] the Supreme Court’s ruling & request of yesterday.”

“I have wanted to take care of DACA recipients better than the Do Nothing Democrats, but for two years they refused to negotiate,” the president continued. “They have abandoned DACA. Based on the decision the Dems can’t make DACA citizens. They gained nothing!”

The Thursday decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld lower court rulings that found Trump’s move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program established by President Barack Obama in 2012 was unlawful.

The justices said the Trump administration failed to give adequate justification for terminating the program that protects nearly 700,000 young immigrants – dubbed “Dreamers.”

The ruling keeps the program intact.

“We do not decide whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies,” he wrote. “We address only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action. Here the agency failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance and what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients.”

Roberts said the Department of Homeland Security can try again.
