Thread: Texas ends legal challenge to DACA after administration announces halt to amnesty pro

That is absolutely false, MW. Hanen was asked by the States to apply the injunction to DACA 2012, Hanen denied their request and ruled that DACA 2012 would continue in effect and would not be stopped by an injunction on the other programs.

He couldn't apply an injuction because DACA wasn't part of the lawsuit. Making a 23rd hour request for consideration on something that wasn't in the original lawsuit wasn't a road the judge wanted to go down. There is nothing that was in the ruling on DACA that would have precluded Trump from ending the program anytime he wanted to! The judge was just basically saying that specific lawsuit would not have an effect on DACA. The end, that's all there was to it. No need create an issue where none exist.

President Donald Trump could have ended DACA anytime he so chose. Unfortunately though, he thought his promise to the DACA members and his "big heart" was more important than the campaign promise he made to gain our vote!

You are wrong! When a court ruling states DACA 2012 will continue in effect that means it will continue in effect until the ruling is dispensed with by a resolution of the lawsuit or a dismissal. Not sure what bus you rode in on, but it wasn't from the legal world of the United States.

Hanen could have absolutely put an injunction on DACA 2012 if there was legal cause to do so. He considered it and ruled against it because it was an implemented program, much smaller in scope and had been properly renewed.

You're allowing your instincts to protect Trump take over your sensibilities.

There was absolutely no ruling in the lawsuit that would have prevented Trump from ending DACA. He could have ended it on day one as he promised or anytime up to this point. Of course he ends it now, if you want to call it that considering the 6 month extension, when he knew he would look like a flaming idiot and traitor if he allowed AG Paxton to follow through with his lawsuit.
