Sessions rips judge’s decision to restore DACA program

By TED HESSON

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday blasted a federal judge’s decision to fully restart the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by Aug. 23.

Sessions said in a statement that the Justice Department will “take every lawful measure” to defend the decision to terminate the Obama-era program, which offers deportation relief to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

"The last administration violated its duty to enforce our immigration laws by directing and implementing a categorical, multipronged non-enforcement immigration policy for a massive group of illegal aliens,” Sessions said.

The Trump administration “simply reestablished the legal policies consistent with the law,” the attorney general added.

D.C.-based U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled Friday that the Trump administration must accept new DACA applications, but he delayed the effective date of the ruling to allow time for a possible appeal.
