Does this injunction preclude DHS/DOJ from amending or modifying DACA in any way or form?
Not that I can see. Legal minds, care to weigh in?
Extended DACA is not mentioned at all as a problem in the 5th circuit's response. Their response specifically addresses the 4.5 million DAPA recipients, and all references to DACA have to do with DAPA being modeled after DACA.
Also, the programs as Prof. Loehr has explained, can go ahead today as soon as DHS publishes a notice and comment period. They did it for DACA, and they did it
after DACA had started.
