House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte blasted a federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday for refusing to let the Trump administration rescind an executive order that the Obama White House issued.

“For a federal judge to rule that the current administration cannot change a memo from the previous administration is absurd,” the Virginia Republican said in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon. “The DACA program was unilaterally created by the Obama Administration in a memo penned by former Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano. Just as easily as it was issued, it can be rescinded — presidential policy is not set in stone and often changes from one administration to the next.”
