Litigation Updates
1. Two injunctions, from courts in New York and California, require USCIS to accept DACA applications from people who have received DACA at some point in the past. Those injunctions remain in effect.
The New York cases are Batalla Vidal v. Nielsen and New York v. Trump.
The California cases are led by Regents of the University of California v. DHS.
2. A court in Washington, DC had previously set a 90-day deadline for the government (July 23). That deadline has now been extended indefinitely until there is another order from that court, and we do not know when that court will rule.
The plaintiffs in the Washington, DC case are the NAACP, UFCW, AFT, Princeton University, Microsoft, and an individual DACA recipient named Maria De La Cruz Perales Sanchez.
3. A court in Texas will hear that state's request for an injunction blocking DACA on August 8, 2018. Although it is unlikely, there is a slim possibility that the Texas court would issue a ruling that same day. An injunction from the TX court blocking DACA would contradict the injunctions in NY and CA and create confusion for the federal government, likely leading to a fast appeal.
