Somewhere in the video King appears to state that there is a lawsuit over the legality of the Dreamer regulations. Does anyone have a link to this?
Judge Dismisses ICE Agents' Lawsuit Challenging Obama's Deferred Action
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, who earlier this year had expressed agreement with the agents’ contention that the deferred deportation program undermined their duty to enforce the law, said on Wednesday that it was not within his court’s jurisdiction to decide on what essentially is a dispute between federal employees and their employer, the U.S. government.
In his decision to dismiss the case, O’Connor, sitting in Dallas, Texas, nonetheless reiterated his view that DACA was inherently unlawful.
“Plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that the Department of Homeland Security has implemented a program contrary to congressional mandate,” he said in his ruling.
Kris Kobach, the attorney who represented the 10 agents of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in their lawsuit, said that despite the dismissal of the case, the judge’s comments vindicated the agents.
“Today, the court once again made clear that the Obama Administration’s DACA Directive violates federal law,” Kobach said in a written statement. “The question that the court focused on in the ruling was a purely jurisdictional one—whether this case can proceed in federal court or whether it must go through administrative bodies in the executive branch.”
