The U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday it had asked the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling last week that blocked President Donald Trump's move to end a programme that protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children.


The Republican president in September rescinded Billy Price Jersey , effective in March, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, programme put in place in 2012 by his Democratic predecessor Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey , Barack Obama. Trump asked Congress to come up with a legislative fix.


A variety of Democratic state attorneys general, organisations and individuals challenged Trump's action in multiple federal courts.


The administration is challenging a Jan. 9 decision by San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who ruled that DACA must remain in place while the litigation is resolved.


The Justice Department is not filing an emergency application that, if successful Vontaze Burfict Jersey , would result in the judge's ruling being put on hold. That means the programme will remain in effect during the litigation.


"It defies both law and common sense for DACA ... to somehow be mandated nationwide by a single district court in San Francisco," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement on Tuesday announcing plans for the appeal to the high court.


"We are now taking the rare step of requesting direct review on the merits of this injunction by the Supreme Court so that


this issue may be resolved quickly and fairly for all the parties involved," Sessions added.


Since the programme was implemented, about 800 Carlos Dunlap Jersey ,000 young, mostly Hispanic adults dubbed "Dreamers," have been protected from deportation and allowed to work legally in the United States. As of September, when the most recent figures were made available Tyler Eifert Jersey , 690,000 young adults were protected under the programme.


"Dreamers came out of the shadows based on a representation that if they qualified for the status, they would be allowed to stay in the country. Now they're being used as bargaining chips in a high-stakes immigration policy debate in which their status should have no part," said Mark Rosenbaum Geno Atkins Jersey , an attorney for the public interest law firm Public Counsel, which represents six DACA recipients in the case.


Alsup's ruling came during negotiations between Trump and congressional leaders over immigration policy. Those talks fell apart after Trump rejected a bipartisan deal and provoked outrage with his reported use of vulgar language to describe African countries in a meeting with lawmakers on immigration.


The Justice Department's move to go directly to the Supreme Court is unusual as the administration is essentially seeking to circumvent the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which previously ruled against it over Trump's temporary travel bans on people entering the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries.


Even if the high court agrees to take up the case, it is unlikely to rule until its next term A.J. Green Jersey , which starts in October and runs until June 2019.

XINING, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- China's first national park in the Sanjiangyuan area will open in 2020, the administration bureau said Wednesday.


The park in the southern part of northwest China's Qinghai Province was established to protect the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers.


The administration bureau of Sanjiangyuan National Park started trial operations of the park Andy Dalton Jersey , a vast wetland and grassland area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, two years ago.


The bureau plans to increase the park's green coverage and wildlife species in the next two years, said Li Xiaonan, director of the administration bureau.


Sanjiangyuan literally means "the source of three rivers." The environment has degraded due to human activity such as overgrazing.
