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.

Thank you for sharing this info. I was wondering why Original DACA started without any court injunction while the Expanded version got stuck even before it began. I was aware that there was no federal register for the Expanded version, but I thought that's what they did with the Original version too. I was too lazy to look into it...
Are Democrats THAT stupid? I don't think so. I don't want to admit they are smart either, but I think this is their strategy, trying to fish us without giving us live bait. Think about it. Why are they not issuing a notice and comment now like some legal experts are saying? Because that will infuriate Republican judges? Do it anyway and see what happens; it's getting messy anyway. Why did Obama repeatedly say he didn't have the authority but then started this EO in a most incomplete way so that it won't take off, allowing Republicans to attack him/immigrant community? I think the real answer lies somewhere in between...
