Two of those policies have had divergent fortunes in the courts. The Supreme Court, which just heard arguments about Trump’s ban on the entry of people from several countries to the U.S., is widely expected to uphold it. But a federal district court has ruled that the president has to resume his predecessor’s policy of granting quasi-legal status to people who came to the U.S. illegally as minors.
The legal issues in both cases are distinct, but in both cases the courts should probably back off and let the administration have its way — even if the resulting policy is unwise or unfair.
