A federal judge in Maryland ruled that President Trump had the right to end DACA in a win for the administration. But Trump’s immigration order remains on hold because other federal courts have placed injunctions on the order.
Judge Roger W. Titus, a Bush appointee, ruled late Monday President Trump acted within his authority in his plan to rescind an executive order former President Barack Obama announced in 2012 as a way to protect illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as minors. Trump ended the order over a period of six months until Congress could legislatively solve the problem.
