Argued:
April 18, 2016
Decided:
June 23, 2016
Justia Summary
An equally divided Court affirmed, by per curiam opinion, the judgment of the appeals court below. That court had temporarily halted implementation of the federal government's Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program ("DAPA") on the grounds that the policy likely violated the Administrative Procedure Act. The case will go back to the federal district court to determine whether DAPA should be permanently enjoined.
Annotation
Primary Holding
[There was no holding because an eight-member court was equally divided on the issue, allowing the decision of the lower court to stand.]
