Retailers Applaud Supreme Court Upholding DACA as 'Landmark Ruling'

The National Retail Federation hailed Thursday’s Supreme Court decision blocking the Trump administration from disbanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. “This is a landmark ruling that inherently recognizes that these young people are law-abiding, tax-paying Americans who have never known adult life anywhere else,” said CEO Matthew Shay. “It is still important for Congress to pass legislation permanently protecting these individuals so their future will never be in question again.” NRF was one of 143 trade associations and businesses to file a friend-of-the-court brief in October arguing that rescinding DACA would harm U.S. companies and the overall economy.
