Fox News is reporting that the Justice Department is planning to appeal directly to the Supreme Court to overrule a San Francisco federal judge’s ruling voiding President Trump’s order ending the Obama administration’s controversial DACA program for certain illegal aliens brought to the U.S. as children.

Fox’s Jake Gibson broke the news via Twitter, “*BREAKING* Department of Justice Officials tell Fox News the Trump Administration will appeal the DACA decision by a San Francisco federal court… officials say they actually plan to try to skip over the Ninth Circuit and seek review directly before the Supreme Court. #FoxNews”

An article by law professor Josh Blackman blistering the ruling being appealed which also provides background on the case was published by the National Review last week.
