The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Trump administration’s request to fast track a decision on whether it will hear a case over the president’s rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The justices, in an unsigned order, denied the request, which was filed on behalf of the administration last month to expedite a decision on whether to review the case.
Solicitor General Noel Francisco, who represents the administration in cases before the Supreme Court, urged the justices to announce their decision on whether they will hear the case by the end of their term later this month.
“Because of the importance of the questions presented for review and the urgent need for their prompt resolution, the government moves for expedited consideration of the petition so that the petition may be resolved before the Court’s summer recess,” his filing reads.
