Thepetition of the day is:
16-1180
Issues:(1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit erred in creating an immigration-specific rule under which state police power regulations that arrang[e] federal immigration classifications are pre-empted, even if pre-emption was not the clear and manifest purpose of Congress; and (2) whether the 9th Circuit erred in assuming that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, an executive-branch policy of non-enforcement, was valid federal law capable of pre-empting a state police power regulation.
