Question:

If this lawsuit (or lawsuit modification) is issued on September 5th as promised, would DACA renewals be suspended as soon as it is filed since the decision on DAPA and EDACA was already given?

Or, would it still take weeks, even maybe months of litigation?

Yes exactly, because unlike DAPA, the DHS did give notice and requested comments on DACA before implementing the executive order. This new DACA lawsuit is because these attorney generals consider it unconstitutional, when in fact it is constitutional.

Even if it is constitutional, Trump's AG has to defend it in court. Will Sessions do that? He might to stray under Trump's good graces...

My argument is that Judge Hansen can simply dismiss the lawsuit base on the fact that DACA it's constitutional. Sessions doesn't need to fight it in order for a judge to dismiss a lawsuit. A lot lawsuits are dismissed based on baseless grounds before it even goes to trial.

Let's not forget that Kris Kobach also sued the Obama Administration back in 2013 because of DACA. That lawsuit was taken place in the state of Texas. That lawsuit was reviewed and dismissed by the judge before it even went to trial.

This isn't the first time that DACA has been under attack. I think we all need to calm down, relax, and most importantly stay optimistic.

DHS did not give notice and ask for comment before issuing DAPA, which was the reason judge Hanen blocked DAPA. He did not rule on the constitutional arguments.
Nope. Because Texas claimed that driver's licenses are subsidized and cost more than what they actually charge drivers and those orders would force them to give the driver's licenses to DAPA and EDACA recipients, it would cost them money and so Texas would be hurt.

The EXACT argument can be made for DACA and this same judge can easily slap an injunction on DACA on September 5th before he goes home. Maybe in a year or two it'll end up in the supreme court again. They don't have to make the constitutional argument now when they have a blueprint of what worked.

The only flaw in that argument is that DACA has been in place for 5 years. If it was causing them
So much harm then why didn't they sue?

You're wrong actually. The blueprint of their lawsuit was the APA and here is why...

Quote:
Q. What are the claims in the lawsuit?

The 26 states claim that expanded DACA and DAPA violate federal laws and the Constitution. Specifically, they make the following claims:

--Expanded DACA and DAPA violate the “Take Care Clause” of the Constitution, which states that the President must “take Care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

--Expanded DACA and DAPA violate the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because these initiatives are arbitrary and capricious or otherwise not in accordance with the immigration laws.

--The federal government did not comply with certain technical procedural requirements under the APA, including notice-and-comment rulemaking, before it announced the expanded DACA and DAPA initiatives.

Source: https://www.americanimmigrationcounc...-supreme-court

Judge Hanen did not rule on the constitutional arguments. His ruling rests on an obscure but important statute called the Administrative Procedure Act.

Source:http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...tion_will.html
All 26 of these states felt that President Obama didn't faithfully execute DAPA/e-DACA without asking for reviews/comments. Which is what the APA calls for. That's what their lawsuits were about and that's what Judge Hanen ruled on.

So NO, the exact same thing can NOT be said regarding this DACA lawsuit. It survived a Kobach lawsuit and I'm confident it will survived this one as well.
