From your link....

...Texas had threatened the lawsuit last year, saying that it would file if President Trump didn’t end the Obama-era program. Mr. Trump complied, announcing a six-month phaseout.

That phaseout has been blocked by courts who say he cut too many corners.
That flummoxed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who says the original DACA program was illegal in the first place.

“Texas has argued for years that the federal executive branch lacks the power to unilaterally grant unlawfully present aliens lawful presence and work authorization,” Mr. Paxton said in filing the lawsuit. “Left intact, DACA sets a dangerous precedent by giving the executive branch sweeping authority to ignore the laws enacted by Congress and change our nation’s immigration laws to suit a president’s own policy preferences.”

How is an illegal EO even accepted as law of the land, to begin with???

Trump nor Obama never issued a EO for DACA. It was merely policy. Often called Executive action.

Good question, I’d like to hear the judge’s answer.
