Remember when Steve king threatened to sue?
 
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King, a hawkish conservative on immigration, warned President Trump that he could face a lawsuit over the administration's unwillingness to cancel an Obama-era program that provides relief from deportation for certain young, undocumented immigrants.

King expressed frustration about Trump's refusal to cancel the program despite repeated campaign promises to do so, arguing that "defenders of the Constitution" may need to sue Trump to block the implementation of the program.

Past legal action against DACA has had mixed results. While a deadlocked Supreme Court blocked the expansion of the program to allow parents of these undocumented immigrants protections, court challenges to the original DACA policy were unsuccessful.

Probably because this was just a verbal threat by one person.

He basically telegraphed their move when he encouraged someone to sue. Hopefully, in the upcoming weeks we can get more scholarly opinions on if they have grounds. So far we haven't gotten a lot of opinions on this. The Sunday talks shows might be one area to watch to see if any of the guests interviewed are asked about it.

Yea I've been on the lookout for that.
