Less than a week after a court in Washington, D.C. ruled that the Trump administration didn’t have the right to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, seven states filed a lawsuit to end the program that allows around 800,000 young people to work and live without fear of deportation.
Today, a federal court in Houston will consider the lawsuit brought by Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia. Judge Andrew Hanen, overseeing the case, is well known for blocking the Obama administration from expanding DACA in 2015.
The American Civil Liberties Union says it’s possible Hanen could order the end to the program anytime after today’s hearing. The ACLU also has some recommendations for DACA recipients and says such an order would conflict with the D.C. court and courts in other states, which ordered the federal government to continue renewing existing DACA cases:
To be clear, such an order would be wrong: Not only is the DACA program legal, but if the Texas court were to strike it down, its order would directly conflict with the orders issued by the California, New York, and Washington courts. If the government were subject to such conflicting orders, it would likely seek relief from the Supreme Court quickly, and no one knows for certain how the Supreme Court would rule.
Because of the possibility that the Texas court will issue an unfounded order that leads to faster Supreme Court review, we recommend that DACA recipients who are eligible for renewal submit their applications as soon as possible. If the DACA program is struck down, you could lose your application fee, but applying sooner increases the chance that you will be able to renew while the program is still available.

Deport them All
END DACA
There are laws on immigration. If America is not pleased by the current laws then elect individuals that will act and pass laws that will.legally allow them to stay in the country. As for now, in the eyes of the law, they are illegally in this country and face deportation. That is the law. Compassion is not a valid argument. Mercy has its place. However the law of the land should not yield to either one .
Where was the judge when Obama started DACA illegally? Judges should interpret laws, not create them.
Sorry boys, but in poll after poll 85 percent of the people in this country support DACA. It will be an issue in this fall’s election, and it will drag your racist hater candidates down.
Your little dream bubble of an exclusive White Man’s Paradise is going *poof*, bye-bye, seeya, kaput, one way or another. Please accept it and deal with it like grownups rather than adolescent punks.
Some people just can’t seem to have the ability to reason with others . In an argument there are no winners. But to be able to sit down together in a peaceful manner and discuss the issues at hand is the key in solving many of the problems we’re facing in our country. Yelling and the name calling is just not panning out.
Whats the LIMBO? There here illegally so deport them, Im tired of hearing the same crap Its not their fault its not mine ether, its the parents that brought them here illegally so round the parents and kids up and deport them all. Im also tired of hearing that all the polls say keep the kids, if that were true Trump wont have won, we are supposed to be a nation of laws not a nation of pick and choose the laws you like.
“Yelling and the name calling is just not panning out.”
It sure isn’t Dave D.
That’s why the Orange Turd needs to stop doing that shit.
You’ve already passed judgement the verdict is in . Non the less, he is still the President . Maybe he didn’t win the popular vote , who knows. But. even if he didn’t that really doesn’t matter. I can’t help but to find humor on this debate. It’s like trying to change the rules of the N.F.L. At the end of the game because our favorite team lost on technicalities.
I would love to hear the explanation of why 85% of Americans polled want DACA. It is nothing more than decriminalization of our immigration laws. Let’s talk about the lives lost trying to take advantage of liberalization that seems to be running rampant in the US. I guess this is how you act when you lose elections. Change all the rules?
Move to Cuba.
