Multiple legal briefs are being filed today in support of ending the injunction
against the Obama Administration’s expansion of deferred action.
On February 16, 2015, a Texas federal judge issued a preliminarily injunction
against the implementation of the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Legal
Permanent Residents (DAPA) initiatives. The Obama Administration is appealing
that decision and has requested expedited consideration of the appeal.
In anticipation, attorneys general, 181 members of congress, 73 mayors
and county officials from 27 States, civil rights, and business leaders
are all filing legal briefs in support of the Administration’s appeal.
Overall the briefs argue the case challenging executive action, led by
the State of Texas, is based on unproven or incomplete presentations to
the court and should be reversed.
