SCOTUS heard oral arguments today in the case of Trump discontinuing DACA. DACA is a popular, but extra-legal policy cooked up and put in place by Obama, with no regard for due process. It allows illegal immigrant children to be here without fear of deportation, and it allows them access to work permits.
Reading the questions asked, it appears that SCOTUS is going to agree that Trump was within his constitutional powers in ending the program, and his decision is not subject to judicial review.
One interesting question is, what will Trump ask Congress to do to replace it?
Another is, will they define a whole set of Executive actions not subject to judicial review? At least a couple of Justices has publicly spoken against the notion that a federal judge anywhere in the system can issue an injunction against an Executive decision.
