From the mailrm Ruling on an NAACP-filed lawsuit, a federal court in Washington, D.C. rejected the Trump Administration’s bid to terminate the DACA program.
Federal Judge John Bates said the decision by the Trump administration to rescind DACA was “virtually unexplained” and as such “unlawful.” He granted the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 90 days to provide a legally sufficient explanation, and, if they fail to do so, DHS will be required to maintain the program.
Judge Bates’ ruling marks the first time that any court has reached a decision that may enable new enrollees to participate in DACA since it was terminated.
Our lawsuit was filed last fall against President Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, DHS Secretary Elaine Duke, and several departments within the administration. Two of the nation’s largest unions – the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) – as well as Princeton University and Microsoft Corporation joined us in this fight to defend people of color eligible for the DACA program.
This administration attempted to renege on a promise that our nation made to undocumented young immigrants. The NAACP has protected that promise and seen justice prevail.

Today, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, we honor all of the extraordinary NAACP mothers and mother figures in our lives and our hearts.
To all the women who have been the anchor and foundation of our families; who have been present for life's milestones; who have provided comfort and an encouraging word at just the right moment; and who have served as a teacher, coach, and mentor, we offer a heartfelt, thank you.
We have watched with adoration as you navigate different situations. We have been inspired by you and have learned from you. We have been blessed to know your unconditional love and support. On this day and each day, we recognize and acknowledge your light, virtue, and grace.
As we press forward in our fight for social justice and the equality of rights for all, let us draw strength from the tenacious and fearless mothers who stand up, give voice to our mission, and speak out to make their communities better for all children.
