A federal judge ruled on January 9 that it is illegal for the President of the United States to stop an illegal government program. Judge William Alsup issued the order in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Judge Alsup ordered President Donald Trump to continue President Obama’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) program. Trump had ordered DACA to end on March 5, 2018.
Judge Alsup was appointed by President Bill Clinton. Judge Alsup focused on policy values and not much on legal principles. Such political court opinions, recently out of California, usurping the roles of the president and Congress, are becoming commonplace.
