    Judge allows group of "Dreamers" to formally fight Texas' lawsuit to end DACA

    Judge allows group of "Dreamers" to formally fight Texas' lawsuit to end DACA

    A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund can represent a group of young undocumented immigrants in opposing a lawsuit aimed at ending an Obama-era immigration program shielding people like them from deportation.

    A federal district judge has allowed a group of young undocumented immigrants to intervene in a lawsuit where the state of Texas seeks to put an end to the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.

    Brownsville-based U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen will allow the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund to represent the group of young "Dreamers," the common term for young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children and have lived here most of their lives. They argue they would be irreparably harmed if the popular Obama-era program ends. The initiative shields recipients from deportation and allows them a renewable, two-year work permit.


    The decision Tuesday comes after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton made good earlier this month on a long-standing promise to sue the Trump administration with the hopes of ending the program, alleging it is unconstitutional. Neither side opposed the intervention, according to a MALDEF press release.


    DACA has been on and off the chopping block since President Donald Trump announced in September that his administration was phasing out the program over six months. But three different courts have since ruled that the administration must keep the program intact, for now.


    The most recent decision came in late April, when U.S. District Judge John D. Bates of the District of Columbia went a step further than previous decisions and ruled the administration must accept new DACA applications instead of only renewals. That decision was placed on hold for 90 days, however, leaving the White House time to argue its reasoning for ending DACA. Paxton’s lawsuit came about a week after Bates’ order, and Texas has been joined by six other states in its latest efforts.

    As of the September announcement, there were about 120,000 DACA beneficiaries in Texas and more than 800,000 nationwide.


    MALDEF officials have said the intervention is necessary because Texas and the Trump administration are in lockstep in their efforts to see the program eliminated.


    “Today’s order of intervention ensures that this case will not go forward as a sweetheart arrangement between non-adversaries who agree with each other on almost every relevant issue,” Thomas A. Saenz, MALDEF’s president and general counsel, said in a statement. “Interveners and their counsel will present a vigorous defense of DACA, an initiative in effect for many years and from which Texas and every other state have benefited.”


    President Trump said in September that the six-month delay was necessary in order for Congress to act, but the U.S. House and Senate have both failed to advance any legislation to codify DACA, including efforts that would have also bolstered border security.

    They are here ILLEGALLY...they have no rights to do this.

    American's have been HARMED by this illegal memorandum and our Justice system and Rule of Law has been HARMED by issuing DACA "temporary deferred deportation" with work permits.

    Now shut is down!

    Deport them all.
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL

    Not what I expected from Judge Hansen who ruled against DAPA and the DACA expansion.

    Excerpt:

    Before the Supreme Court case, federal Judge Andrew Hansen, who has a long line of anti-immigration sentiments, ordered a halt to DACA expansion and its companion program, DAPA, which proposed rules for parents of undocumented immigrants. On appeal, the case was assigned to United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which blocked DAPA and DACA expansion in late 2015—but not on constitutional grounds. Obama’s original 2012 executive order instituting DACA remained in place.
