Princeton University, one of its students and Microsoft have mounted a legal challenge to the federal government’s termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as announced on September 5, 2017. The complaint, filed on November 3 in federal court in Washington, D.C., alleges that DACA’s termination violated both the United States Constitution and federal law.
Quote:
In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim that the government’s actions violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, including its guarantee of equal protection under the law, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act. The complaint asks for a declaration that the DACA program is lawful and constitutional, and for an injunction that both stops the administration from terminating DACA and prevents the government from using the information provided by Dreamers against them or for purposes of immigration enforcement.

I think this is a separate lawsuit from the others, but I might be wrong.

It kinda feels we need a sticky thread for all the suits.

Good initiative, but still... please fight for a legislative bill that provides path to either a conditional GC (but an amendment to require Congress to act on immigration by end of 2018...) or a citizenship!!!!!!!

Watch them try and worm their way into giving out a restricted form of greencard with no citizenship after 5 years or ANY years.

Connecticut's public universities join legal action against Donald Trump over DACA:

Quote:
“If DACA students are deported, forced to withdraw or leave the university, UConn will lose the tuition revenue that these students contribute,” UConn President Susan Herbst wrote in an affidavit. “This is a significant impact on the university.”

Oh Susan, how many of us DACA people are in UConn for us to make a significant impact to the tuition revenue? This school hires so many international students they are rich.

I call it BS.
