Texas and six other states have filed a lawsuit claiming former President Barack Obama violated the Constitution’s take care clause when he created the program protecting immigrants brought to the country illegally as minors.
“If ever there were a violation of the president’s duty to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed,’ ” the lawsuit says, “this is it.” The suit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Brownsville, Texas, challenges the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), created by Obama in 2012.
In prepared remarks, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said President Donald Trump has sought to phase out DACA, but “three activist judges” have blocked the cancellation. “That means that unelected federal judges are forcing the Trump administration to leave an unlawful program in place indefinitely as legal challenges drag on,” he said.
The suit seeks an order barring the federal government from issuing new DACA permits or renewing existing ones, as well as a declaratory judgment that DACA violates the take care clause and the Administrative Procedure Act.
Joining Texas in the lawsuit are Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia.

Obama ignored laws that impeded his will, and did so with impunity.
The ENTIRE Kenyaneisan usurpation was unConstitutional.
Did they miss CA OR or WA paper work?/s
He could do that because he had the immunity that comes from the opposition party being compromised in allowing his usurpation.
Fine, but this is just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Obama’s action was absolutely illegal and the kangaroo courts have said Trump can’t reverse it. So they’re going to court to make courts respect the law.
We’re living in a country where the Executive branch and Congress yield to these partisan hacks in black robes at every turn. It’s time for them to refuse. Courts are not the supreme branch of government.
The states should have continued their legal challenge to DACA after their squashing of DAPA.
States are now doing the job the egop should have done a decade ago!!!
>>Did they miss CA OR or WA paper work?/s<<
LOL!!
You can’t say “DACA” without “CA!”
Very funny!
Great! Only 5 years overdue. This law suit should have been filed by 2013 at the latest.
