A potential lawsuit from Republican state attorneys general might force the Trump administration to enact a campaign trail promise.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Republican attorneys general in nine other states sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions that said that they will sue the federal government if it does not begin to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The DACA program, which was started by former President Obama, protects around 790,000 illegal immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as minors. Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly told members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Wednesday that he can’t assure them that the administration would prevail over this legal challenge.
DHS spokesman David Lapan told The Washington Post, “This is what he’s being told by different attorneys, that if it goes to court it might not survive.”Read the rest of the story HERE and read MY TAKE BELOW:
Trump could end DACA tomorrow with the stroke of a pen. WHY WON'T HE?
He sends Kelly out to try and get congress to rescue the program with legislation before a court ruling. That I HAVE NO DOUBT HE'D SIGN.
Those of us who believe DACA should be rescinded are left with only hoping the courts strike it down. DON'T EXPECT ANY HELP FROM TRUMP or he would have done something by now.
EVERY DAY DACA stays on the books MORE ARE ADDED to the rolls. IT'S AN ILLEGALS MAGNET. It's like a sign saying, "If you're going to invade, bring the kids along ... WE'LL FIND A WAY FOR YOU TO STAY."
