Dems threaten to sue Trump over DACA
By Reid Wilson - 09/05/17 04:52 PM EDT

Democratic attorneys general across the country have threatened to sue President Trump over his decision Tuesday to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, opening another front in the growing legal war between blue states and the Republican administration.

In public statements and letters to the Trump administration, 20 attorneys general urged Trump not to follow through on threats to end the five-year-old program, which allows those brought into the country illegally as children to work and live free of the threat of deportation.

“Ending DACA is un-American, and it’s going to threaten the health and safety of many individuals,” New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas (D) told The Hill. “Various attorneys general from across the country are preparing to defend DACA recipients. The Constitution applies [to them] as well in terms of equal protection and due process.”

[Concerned]

I know it makes for a good sound bite to say:  “But in terminating DACA, the Trump administration has also violated the Constitution and federal law"; however, it's not at all clear to me what the basis of these supposed Democratic law suits would be.     How exactly is rescinding Obama's DACA Executive Order violating the Constitution and federal law?

I've come to realize that many of these reporters write things that, while having very little in terms of substance, make them personally feel better.
