Everything You Need to Know About United States v. Texas
Next Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in United States v. Texas, a case brought by Texas and 25 other states challenging federal immigration enforcement policies. The plaintiff states argue that the policies, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, or DAPA, and the expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or expanded DACA, violate federal immigration law and the president’s constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
The Center for American Progress prepared the video above explaining its view that a ruling in favor of Texas could threaten to tear apart millions of American families, while dealing a serious blow to national, state, and local economies.
