DACA has been embroiled in controversy for years, and this ruling, well helpful, doesn’t solve the issue. Will the SCOTUS have to step in?
From AP News. While a federal judge on Wednesday declared illegal a revised version of a federal policy that prevents the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, he declined to order an immediate end to the program and the protections it offers to recipients.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen agreed with Texas and eight other states suing to stop the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. …
“While sympathetic to the predicament of DACA recipients and their families, this Court has expressed its concerns about the legality of the program for some time,” Hanen wrote in his 40-page ruling. “The solution for these deficiencies lies with the legislature, not the executive or judicial branches. Congress, for any number of reasons, has decided not to pass DACA-like legislation … The Executive Branch cannot usurp the power bestowed on Congress by the Constitution — even to fill a void.”
Hanen’s order extended the current injunction that had been in place against DACA, which barred the government from approving any new applications, but left the program intact for existing recipients during the ongoing legal review.
Hanen also declined a request by the states to order the program’s end within two years. Hanen said his order does not require the federal government to take any actions against DACA recipients, who are known as “Dreamers.”
Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF, which is representing DACA recipients in the lawsuit, said it will ultimately be up to higher courts, including the Supreme Court, to rule on DACA’s legality …
The states have argued the Obama administration didn’t have the authority to first create the program in 2012 because it circumvented Congress.
In 2021, Hanen had declared the program illegal, ruling it had not been subject to public notice and comment periods required under the federal Administrative Procedures Act.
The Biden administration tried to satisfy Hanen’s concerns with a new version of DACA that took effect in October 2022 and was subject to public comments as part of a formal rule-making process.
But Hanen, who was appointed by then-President George W. Bush in 2002, ruled the updated version of DACA was still illegal as the Biden administration’s new version was essentially the same as the old version …
The states have claimed they incur hundreds of millions of dollars in health care, education and other costs when immigrants are allowed to remain in the country illegally. The states that sued are Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, West Virginia, Kansas and Mississippi. …
There were 578,680 people enrolled in DACA at the end of March, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. …

GOD’S Will is for all in America to obey the laws of the land. Since Obama created this and circumvented the legislative body of our country whose duty is to make laws, not the executive branch, it should become null and void because it was unconstitutional to begin with! We need to call our representatives and senators to respect and follow the Constitution or be voted out! Obama and biden has turned our country upside down with their “created” and totally illegal laws, like gay marriage! Like obamacare, like the illegals crisis!
FATHER GOD please strengthen our legislators to restore our Constitution and throw out every law that is unconstitutional or that was made by the executive branch of government! Please send every illegal back to where they came from and let them enter our country legally! Let people realize that the vast majority of these people are Not asylum seekers. They have come to America per joe biden’s request, and need to go back quickly in JESUS NAME! However, the people of Haiti that are being persecuted, tortured, and murdered by the gangs that killed their leader and took over their country are True asylum seekers, yet Joe biden has deported over 20,000 of them all back to Haiti to be murdered! Why can’t Haitians stay since everybody else from Spanish, to Chinese, to Muslim terrorists, to MS-13, to criminals, to pedophiles, to drug cartels get to come and be supported by joe biden using our tax dollars, yet the ones really being persecuted, the Haitians get sent back? Just asking! Though all of them need to get sent back to come here legally in JESUS NAME! A.en!
