DACA was going to be killed, either way.
That's not a given. Putting an injunction on an existing program effecting an existing population wouldn't be as clear cut as what transpired with DAPA.

But it would put the administration in an uncomfortable position, which is what I image it was intended to do. And what they wanted to avoid.

Having said that, I think this might be the best outcome for DACA recipients nevertheless.

It has now put us in the forefront of the public eye; Obama made us a de-facto political reality with DACA - we are now employees, co-workers, home-owners, tax-paying members of our communities instead of just invincible being in the fringes of the shadows.

In character, it seems Trump didn't grasp the full consequences of rescinding DACA, and might even be having second doubts, following the public back-lash. The cat is out of the proverbial bag - the only thing he can do now is push Congress to act, which is also in our favour.

Now its up to Congress - the biggest hurdle is likely the House.

It either now or up to the end of this year or things get bleak again.
