White House Says Federal Judge's DACA Ruling 'Outrageous'

A federal judge's ruling late Tuesday that barred President Donald Trump from ending a program shielding young people brought to the United States illegally from deportation was "outrageous," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Wednesday.

"An issue of this magnitude must go through the normal legislative process," Sanders said. "President Trump is committed to the rule of law, and will work with members of both parties to reach a permanent solution that corrects the unconstitutional actions taken by the last administration." 

U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted a request by California and other plaintiffs to prevent Trump from ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program while their lawsuits play out in court.
