Lawsuits were filed by Republicans in several States and were successful in obtaining an injunction against the expanded DACA.
The first injunction was granted in Texas v. United States, 86 F. Supp. 3d 591 (S.D. Tex. 2015). The injunction was upheld by the 5th Circuit, and then sustained 4-4 by SCOTUS after Scalia died in 2016.
When President Trump took office, He rescinded the expansion in June 2017 and then continued to examine the program as a whole. In September 2017, the Trump Administration announced a plan to phase out DACA, triggering multiple lawsuits from the left.
Eventually, the case reached the Supreme Court and Roberts sided with the four liberals and said that the Trump administration didn’t properly follow the APA when rescinding DACA.
Then REPUBLICANS sued again arguing that the whole thing was illegally implemented, and in July of this year, WON at the District Court:

That case is still working its way through the system, and will eventually reach the Supreme Court again, but this time, Roberts doesn’t hold all the cards.
So, as usual, you don’t know what you are talking about, and in your haste to attack the GOP to support your precious Democrats, you left the real timeline out to wander in the wilderness.
Yes, the states were able to stop DAPA (Deferred action for parents of Americans and lawful residents) an add on to DACA.
DACA could have been killed before it got started but the Congressional Republicans, House and Senate, refused to sue to stop it.
Eric Cantor was my Congressman and House Majority Leader and refused to sue.
We took him out in the next primary.
Too bad more did not follow our lead.
Trump would have had more allies and fewer quislings stabbing him in the back.
The real time line started the day the Kenyanesian Usurper announced it.
The Senate and House GOP leadership should have been in court the next day.
They refused.
