1. Judge orders full DACA revival

A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to fully revive the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects from deportation young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. U.S. District Judge John Bates decided the Department of Homeland Security has failed adequately "explain its view that DACA is unlawful." The restart is set to begin August 23, though the administration can appeal the ruling in the meantime. DACA was started by the Obama administration via executive order. Trump rescinded it in September and has since taken conflicting positions on possible congressional responses.
