DACA, originally put in place by President Barack Obama's administration in 2012, has faced many legal journeys through various federal courts.
Attorneys representing nine states that filed a lawsuit aiming to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, along with representatives from the U.S. Justice Department and DACA recipients, are scheduled to appear at a court hearing Thursday, marking the latest attempt to dismantle legal protections for tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants residing in the United States.
The states involved in the lawsuit — Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, West Virginia, Kansas, and Mississippi — argue that allowing immigrants to remain in the country unlawfully causes the states financial harm. Moreover, they argue that the White House exceeded its authority by granting immigration benefits that should have been determined by Congress.
While the revised policies, effective since October, mainly consist of technical adjustments and offer little substantive change compared to the 2012 DACA memorandum, they are subject to public comments as part of a formal rule-making process.
