"I deserve full equality!" DACA supporters demonstrate outside the Supreme Court
Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices on Tuesday (November 12) appeared sympathetic to President Donald Trump's effort to rescind a program that protects from deportation hundreds of thousands of immigrants who entered the United States illegally as children - dubbed "Dreamers" - part of his tough immigration policies.
Several of the five conservative justices appeared skeptical that courts can even review the Republican president's 2017 plan to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which had been implemented in 2012 by his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama.
Even if the court finds that it can be reviewed, conservative justices indicated they think Trump's administration gave a reasonable explanation for its decision.
Liberal justices emphasized the large number of individuals, businesses and others that have relied on the program.
