WASHINGTON — President Obama's 2014 immigration order — the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program — will not be allowed to go into effect, the result of a 4-4 split decision of the Supreme Court on Thursday.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, in November 2015, had upheld a district court's order stopping the DAPA program from going into effect. The Obama administration had appealed.
The justices heard the case in April and had appeared closely divided on the matter.
Thursday's ruling — a one-sentence order announcing that the eight justices were split 4-4 — leaves the lower court decision in place, keeping the administration from implementing the DAPA program.
