Judge Gertner On The Law: Boston School Texts, DACA

16:48

A federal district judge in Texas ruled against the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), a move that the Biden administration says it will appeal. In the meantime, DACA cannot accept new applicants.

And here in Boston, a federal judge has called the withholding of texts by the city of Boston in the exam school case "potentially fraud on the court." The judge reversed his own ruling as a result of that withholding.

We're joined by Nancy Gertner, retired federal judge, senior lecturer at Harvard Law School, and WBUR Legal Analyst.

This segment aired on July 19, 2021.
