Supreme Court puts off DACA decision again

The Supreme Court declined Monday to speed up consideration of President Trump’s move to phase out the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty.

Justice Department lawyers had asked the court late last month to advance the case, saying there’s more than enough confusion and action at the lower courts that the issue is ripe for settling by the justices.

But the justices disagreed, denying the petition without comment.

The high court has been reluctant to get involved in DACA, ignoring several entreaties by the Trump administration to step in early.

It’s possible the justices are giving Congress time to settle matters, if it can.
