CALIFORNIA/DHS/DREAMERS/IMMIGRATION/LEGAL/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The University of California and its president, a former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, on Friday [9-8-17] filed suit challenging President Donald Trump’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, claiming it violates due process provisions of the Constitution.
The lawsuit comes two days after 15 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration over the order, which affects thousands of undocumented people brought the country illegally as children.
The University of California and its president, Janet Napolitano, said the lawsuit was the first to be filed by a university…
California’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, has said he also plans to file litigation against the administration. California was not among the earlier states to file suit.
The University of California said it has about 4,000 students who are undocumented, ‘a substantial number of whom have DACA.’ Immigration is a major issue in heavily Democratic California, where the UC allows so-called Dreamers to pay in-state tuition and offers legal services to undocumented students.”
