Good News and Bad News for DACA recipients

There is good and bad news for the DACA recipients with yesterdays Supreme Court Decision to intercede for the Trump Administration and remove a lower court injunction against the President's Executive order ending the program next week. It is good news because there will be several months of breathing room before the lower courts make their ruling and likely more months after that until the Supreme Court hears it. It is bad news because it lets Congress off the hook in looking for a permanent solution to DACA although this may be overstated because the minority nut jobs on the right like Senator Cotton and Representative McCarthy seem to hold the leverage in stopping any mainstream deals from passing both houses. Another reason why Democrats and Progressives need to keep up the pressure until November and afterward.
