The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request from Texas and other states for a 30-day extension to file briefs in support of the lawsuit to block President Obama’s executive actions on immigration. Instead, the Court accepted DOJ’s request for a shortened eight-day extension, making it possible for the Court to decide the case in the 2015–16 term, should the Court grant the government’s cert petition.

NBC News reports that a new study from the Center for American Progress revealed that as many as 1.5 million U.S. citizens who have relatives awaiting deportation relief under DAPA will be eligible to vote for president in 2016. The study also found that 6.3 million U.S. citizens live in the same households as relatives who would qualify for protection from deportation and work permits under DAPA. The data indicates that DAPA-sensitive voters could have the biggest political impact in battleground states such as Florida, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia.

Today, DOJ filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the Court to overturn the injunction blocking DAPA and expanded DACA, and arguing that the 26 states challenging President Obama’s executive actions lack standing to do so. The petition states that if the Fifth Circuit’s majority ruling is left undisturbed, it “will allow states to frustrate the federal government’s enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws,” and “will force millions of people—who are not removal priorities under criteria the court conceded are valid, and who are parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents—to continue to work off the books, without the option of lawful employment to provide for their families.”

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who received a three-year Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that the three-year EAD and DACA approval notice are no longer valid, and reminded recipients to return three-year EADs previously issued to them.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 Justice Department, on March 12, 2015, filed an emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, with attachments, in Texas v. United States, requesting that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals stay the district court’s nationwide preliminary injunction in its entirety or, at minimum, stay it with respect to implementation in states other than Texas, or states that are not parties to the suit.

The federal judge in Texas who blocked President Barack Obama’s latest executive actions on immigration signaled Tuesday that he isn’t inclined to rush a decision on the Obama Administration’s request to lift the injunction he imposed last week. The Justice Department warned in its stay application filed on Monday that if the judge does not act on the stay by the end of business today, it would move to a higher court.
