The Supreme Court will not review the environmental challenge to DACA

December 21, 2021

The US Supreme Court declined to review a federal appeals court decision rejecting the allegation that DHS unlawfully ignored the environmental impacts of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and other immigration policies. In 2016, Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) and others requested the Supreme Court to hear their appeal a Ninth Circuit ruling that rejected their allegations that DHS violated the National Environmental Policy Act. The Ninth Circuit held that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to bring the claims.
