WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court turned down the Obama administration's last hope at reviving the president's 2014 immigration executive actions, denying the Justice Department's request that the justices rehear the Texas case challenging those actions.
In June, the justices split 4-4 on the question of whether Obama's executive actions creating the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program and expanding the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program were constitutional.
That decision meant that a lower court ruling against DAPA and the expanded DACA would remain in effect, keeping the programs on hold.
The Obama administration filed a petition at the Supreme Court for rehearing in July, asking the justices to reconsider the case. With Monday's order, they declined to do so.
The denial was one of hundreds of such denials of petitions announced on Monday morning, the first day of the Supreme Court's new term.
This past week, the justices met to consider all of the petitions that had come in for review over the summer, announcing on Sept. 29 that they would be hearing nine new cases — bringing the total for the term to 40.
