Can Secretary Johnson sign a new memorandum

Finally, if the DAPA memorandum is so problematic, and it should not have awarded “lawful presence,” absolutely nothing is stopping the president from issuing a new policy. During oral arguments, Justice Kagan stated, “It’s [the government’s] memorandum.” That’s exactly right. The government gets to interpret it or rewrite it whenever they wish. The Department of Homeland Security could have issued a new policy — minus “lawful presence” — in February 2015 after a federal court put DAPA on hold. Or they can do so now. Absolutely nothing prevents them from doing so. Secretary Johnson — who was sitting in the first row of the Court’s gallery — could have signed a new memorandum on the spot, deleting the “lawfully present” language. The executive branch does not need the Court to do its dirty work. Or maybe the government is telegraphing what it will do if it loses this case — simply reissue the exact same memorandum, absent the phrase “lawfully present” — so it can implement the policy before the election.

It is a poker game. Let the Secretary hold his cards.

oh man so if they remove lawful presence, then adios EAD card. the lawful presence part is what allows DACers to get an EAD card. Remember, DA is for Deferred Action in other words, the government is deferring from deporting us

The issue is the language here.

The topic says Johnson signs new memo? Link?

Is there a discussion next week?

At this point I'd settle for a "we're not going to deport you" and a slap on the butt EAD or no EAD.

They Need To STFU with the Pretense ACT, Obama did what presidents have been doing since the formation of this country. The ONLY reason This Is a Problem is Because THIS president issued The Order. All this debate back and forth about language used is nonsensical and just an excuse for the conservative judges to side with Texas.
