Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a sharp critique on Aug. 6 of a federal judge who ordered the reinstatement of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, saying the order equates to overreach by the judicial branch and hampers the Trump administration’s efforts to protect the nation and its citizens.
U.S. District Judge John Bates of Washington ordered the administration to restore the DACA program in full on Aug. 3.
