The program, which protects illegals from deportation and enables them to obtain work permits, currently protects an estimated 700,000 young illegals. In September, President Trump and then-acting DHS Secretary Elaine Duke made the decision to phase out the program. Several immigrants-rights groups sued in an attempt to block the phaseout. As part of the lawsuit, plaintiffs sought to obtain all relevant documents viewed by Duke before she requested the DACA program be phased out. The Administration turned over 256 pages of documents to the activists, but they demanded more, hoping to find evidence that could undermine the phaseout. California Judge William Alsup ruled in favor of the activists in their demand that all materials be handed over; his ruling was upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, a leftwing court that has repeatedly ruled against President Trump. What's Next? The Supreme Court unanimously overturned Alsup's ruling on Wednesday. "The district court may not compel the government to disclose any document that the government believes is privileged without first providing the government with the opportunity to argue the issue," wrote the high court. The Justice Department argues that, because DACA was a use of discretionary presidential powers, revoking the program is also discretionary and thus unavailable for review by courts. The SCOTUS ruling sends the case back to Alsup, who will need to decide whether the federal government is right in its argument that rescinding the program is a decision that can't be reviewed.

EKG tests typically involve multiple electrodes, which are placed directly on the patient's skin. Rumor has it Apple is working on a way to put this technology inside the Apple Watch, which would generate a minor electric current when squeezed. As the current travels up the user's arm towards the heart, the watch would gather the sort of data typically obtained through an EKG. Apple has already received FDA approval for its first medical gadget, an EKG reader built into a watchstrap produced by AliveCor. The device, called KardiaBand, can detect atrial fibrillation, abnormal heartbeat, and other problems. The Implication Having constant access to EKG data would be very beneficial for people at risk of heart failure or stroke, and information from the watch could be vital for doctors in case of emergency. The EKG project is one of many moves from Apple that suggests the Apple Watch is more of a medical tool than a fitness device. Last month, Apple began a project with Stanford University that will monitor Apple Watch users' heart rhythms for irregularity. This sort of data collection can be performed by the watch's current model, but more advanced technology will be required before the watch can perform an EKG.
