Childhood Arrivals: Applications Shumate and Court Waste

childhood arrivals: The judge read a Trump tweet from earlier in the day that he said shows the Republican president wants to find relief for immigrants protected by the program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. And he repeatedly challenged Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate to persuade the government to extend an Oct. 5 deadline for DACA recipients to renew their applications, according to Metro News. Shumate said he was authorized to say the government was actively considering whether to extend the deadline in light of hurricanes that ravaged Florida and Texas. But at a Brooklyn court hearing, he said fast-moving political developments over a legislative solution might mean the court shouldn't waste its time. The judge said his hope would be that the executive branch would put a voluntary halt to the termination process so as to find a legislative solution so the courts are not involved. The judge criticized the government's use of arbitrary deadlines and said it would be useful to take some of the pressure off the various people, these good accomplished young people who the president talks about with admiration. Shumate said the decision was made to wind down the program and delaying the deadline for renewals risked a later crush of applications that would overwhelm employees tasked with handling them.
