The program expires unless USCIS announces a renewal or a lawsuit ruling extends it.
DACA 2012 was part of the 2014 Memorandum being challenged in the Texas lawsuit and while by itself was not initially challenged by Texas and the 25 other states, it was however brought up during the arguments that led to a declaration by Judge Hanen that it would continue in effect. That means DOJ can't cancel it, DHS can't cancel it and the President can't cancel it until it expires or the lawsuit is dismissed whereby the ruling is dispensed with the lawsuit.
The only entity or person to challenge DACA 2012 in court was ..... Sheriff Joe, whose case was thrown out due to lack of standing. No state challenged it, no organization challenged it, no members of Congress introduced bills to stop it, no one did a thing. Then came DACA 2014 and Texas along with 25 other states said "whoa ... you're going too far" and they were going too far, too many people, too much discretion, too broad a program, and they successfully secured an injunction against DACA Expansion and DAPA, and as almost an after-thought they tried to secure an injunction during the hearing to include DACA 2012. But the Judge said no, it's different, it's much smaller only 500,000 people involved, already in effect, already fully implemented, people already relying on it, and he declared that it continue in effect, that is much different than simply saying your request is denied and not included anything about DACA 2012 in his Ruling, but he went further and said it's different, it's smaller, it stays. He took great care to do this to protect the program, whether he agrees with the policy or not, he found no fault with it or he would have stopped it with the request for injunction.
If you want to believe regardless of the outcome of DACA that Trump broke his promise to you, that's up to you. I have no problem with that, that is your free choice to make, for whatever reason or no reason you have for it. It makes no difference to me whether you like Trump or not. I would like to see DACA 2012 ended, the sooner the better, but legally, so there are no lawsuits that would have any meat on their bones. The best way to avoid those is to let the program expire and refuse to renew it.
We'll find out Tuesday what President Trump has decided to do about DACA 2012.
I think he's going to announce that the program expired in June but was kept going until the Texas lawsuit was dismissed, which is being dismissed simultaneously with my announcement today as President of the United States, that a renewal of this program is not in the best interest of the citizens of the United States or the sovereignty of our nation and will not be renewed. He'll sign an Executive Order effectuating the termination of the program, thank everyone and walk out of the room.
