Washington Post: Democratic State Attorneys General Urge Trump to Keep DACA, Say It Has Boosted Economy

The Washington Post reports that New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas on Friday joined 19 other Democratic attorneys general in urging President Donald Trump to keep the under-threat DACA program. In a letter to the president, the attorneys general said the 800,000 recipients of the DACA program have been a boon to universities and employers. “They are our neighbors, co-workers, students and community and church leaders,” the letter stated. “And they are boosting the economies and communities of our states every day.”

Trump Issues Executive Order Freezing Most Federal Hiring

President Trump signed three presidential directives today, one of which places a hiring freeze on non-military federal workers. At this time, it is unclear how the announced hiring freeze will affect the hiring of immigration judges. Trump did not take any action today regarding NAFTA or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program

5th Circuit Affirms Injunction

In a 2-1 decision, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court’s February 16, 2015, ordergranting a preliminary injunction against DAPA and expanded DACA. AILA President Victor Nieblas expressed disappointment in the decision, stating, “Once again, a Fifth Circuit panel sided with Texas and other states in a politically motivated lawsuit to challenge President Obama’s authority to exercise his constitutionally granted executive power to provide a reprieve from deportation for certain parents of American children and to expand the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.”

USCIS Taking Extreme Measures to Retrieve Erroneously Issued Three-Year DACA EADs

As a result of Judge Hanen’s July 7, 2015, order threatening contempt citations in the ongoing litigation in Texas v. United States, USCIS advised stakeholders during a phone call on July 13, 2015, that it is implementing additional—and in some cases extreme—steps to retrieve approximately 2,500 three-year EAD cards and DACA approvals that were erroneously issued after the court’s February 16, 2015, injunction temporarily halting the implementation of expanded DACA

Texas Judge wants to dig in with his order against Immigration Reform

Following a new order by U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen in the Texas v. United States litigation, USCIS advised DACA recipients who received a three-year Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that the three-year EAD and DACA approval notice are no longer valid, and reminded recipients to return three-year EADs previously issued to them. The new July 7, 2015, order requires top immigration enforcement officials, including DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, to appear at a hearing in Texas on August 19, 2015, to discuss the 2,000 three-year EADs that were issued following the injunction on expanded DACA and DAPA.

The Associated Press reports that a judge in Arizona ruled yesterday that DACA recipients are eligible for in-state college tuition at Maricopa County colleges. In his ruling, the judge wrote, “Federal law, not state law, determines who is lawfully present in the U.S,” and because the federal government considers recipients of deferred action lawfully present, they can receive lower in-state tuition.

Thousands of DACA Recipients Are Losing Their Work Permits

Thousands of DACA recipients are suddenly losing their ability to work legally, because USCIS is struggling to renew their employment authorization documents on time. Over 11,000 young immigrants, roughly 5% of the total number of DACA renewals that USCIS has approved so far, have had their DACA status and work permits expire in spite of having applied on time.
