A Washington court ordered the US presidential administration to restore a program to protect children of illegal migrants from deportation

A Washington District Court has ruled that the Trump administration must renew the Children of Irregular Migrant Children's Deportation Act (DACA), reported . Reuters

Federal Judge John Bates, who reviewed the new arguments presented by the Trump administration, said he did not intend to change his decision to renew the law. Bates issued an executive order in April that ordered the administration of the US president to restart the DACA program. He gave the administration 90 days to come up with new arguments why the program should not be restarted.

Bates said the evidence presented by the Trump administration "did not allay his concerns." At the same time, the US Department of Justice said that the government will continue to defend its position.

According to the court decision, the program should be restored in full, including the part that allows you to accept new applications from the children of illegal migrants to postpone deportation.

The judge agreed to delay the entry into force of his decision until August 23 to give administration officials time to decide whether to appeal.

Earlier, Trump signed an executive order prohibiting the separation at the border of families who arrived illegally in the United States. “We will have powerful, very powerful borders, but we will not separate families,” he said.

Recall that Trump canceled the program to protect the children of illegal migrants from deportation in September 2017. According to Trump, the DACA program was introduced by Barack Obama bypassing Congress, and the Parliament has repeatedly rejected such initiatives.
