So anyway, the current state of play is that DACA is closed except for existing DACA recipients and it’s been deemed unconstitutional by a TX District Court. The next stage of this lawsuit is hearing the appeal in the 5th Circuit. That is what this July 6th hearing is. 5/
So about the 5th. Without wanting to be doom & gloom it’s important to be eyes wide open. We will lose at the 5th Circuit. This Circuit is the same court that heard the DAPA case (basically the same case) in the Obama era and deemed it unconstitutional. The issue is how we lose. 6/
To that end, on any day the District Court judge could change his mind & stop renewals, it seems like while being the horrific bad guy he doesn’t want the blame of ending renewals (even though he’s effectively ended the program). 7/
But the 5th Circuit could make a different decision & stop renewals when they decide. So in an ideal losing scenario they don’t disrupt the ability to renew as the case moves to the Supreme Court, as we should anticipate the 5th Circuit decision will be appealed to the SCOTUS 8/
