Okay, what's your point? President Trump certainly has the power and authority to override a departmental memorandum. Heck, if there was no question on his right to cancel an E.O., there is even less of one on a departmental memorandum.Quote:

My point was that General Kelly can do the Memo Directive as Secretary of DHS, that a Trump EO is not required. That would be a better way to end DACA 2012. I hope that's what they do.Quote:

I think things would have been quite different had Kris Kobach gotten the job of DHS Secretary. Looks like Kobach didn't get anything in the Trump administration.Quote:

That's what Sean Spicer said at the press conference awhile back, that they were going to let it expire in June. What that means in terms of Memos or EO's or notices to the DACA's 2012, I'm not sure. I do know that to cancel DACA 2012, they have to send every one of them a letter of notice advising it's over, then the DACA has so many days to reply, then DHS has to investigate whatever they replied with, and then reply back with a decision on each individual DACA, that's almost 900,000 of them. It could be that Kelly doesn't want to waste time on that right now, and instead he wants to focus on reducing entries at the border, get the Wall started, and deport the criminals including any DACA criminals as a sense of priority that requires no notice letter or reply and subsequent written ruling on their case. This is where all those lawsuits would arise is during this notice, reply, ruling process.Quote:
