Case Summary

On Dec. 3, 2014, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, fourteen states (South Dakota, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, West Virginia, Kansas, Georgia, Nebraska, Utah, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, South Carolina, and Indiana) and four governors (of Mississippi, Maine, North Carolina, and Idaho) sued the U.S. government for violations of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the Take Care Clause of the U.S. Constitution, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief.

On Dec. 3, 2014, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, fourteen states (South Dakota, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, West Virginia, Kansas, Georgia, Nebraska, Utah, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, South Carolina, and Indiana) and four governors (of Mississippi, Maine, North Carolina, and Idaho) sued the U.S. government for violations of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the Take Care Clause of the U.S. Constitution, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. The original plaintiffs were later joined in the suit by Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and the Attorney General of Michigan. The lawsuit claimed that President Obama had "unilaterally suspend[ed] the immigration laws as applied to 4 million of the 11 million" undocumented immigrants in the United States.

Specifically, plaintiffs challenged the executive's intended expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) -- the deportation reprieve offered to undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children -- and the intended creation of Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) -- a temporary deportation reprieve for undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and lawful residents. Plaintiffs alleged that these executive actions amounted to an unlawful suspension of the nation's immigration laws, in violation of the Take Care Clause of the Constitution, and that the policies were arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and issued without regulatory authority or the required notice and opportunity for public comment, in violation of the APA. The case was assigned to District Judge Andrew S. Hanen.

Three Jane Does sought to intervene to defend the legality of DACA and DAPA. The Jane Does were noncitizens who had lived in the United States for more than ten years with minor children, seeking to benefit from the executive actions. But on Feb. 11, 2015, Judge Hanen denied intervention. They appealed on March 9, 2015. On Nov. 9, 2015, in an opinion by Circuit Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, the Fifth Circuit reversed and remanded the case to the district court, holding that the Jane Does satisfied the necessary requirements for intervention. 805 F.3d 653 (5th Cir. 2015).

The program was set to take effect on Feb. 18, 2015, but on Feb. 16, Judge Hanen granted plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction, holding that the U.S. had failed to comply with the APA. Finding that the administration's programs would impose major burdens on states, encourage illegal immigration and strain state budgets, and that the administration had not followed required procedures for changing federal rules, the Court enjoined the government from implementing the expansion of the deferred action program, which was to take effect on Feb. 18, pending the final resolution of the case. 86 F. Supp. 3d 591, 677 (S.D. Tex. 2015).

On Feb. 23, 2015, the U.S. appealed the district court's order to the Fifth Circuit. On the same day, the U.S. asked the district court to stay its order pending appeal to allow the expanded program to go into effect. In April, however, the district court denied the stay; the government then sought a stay from the Fifth Circuit. After briefing and oral argument, a motions panel (Judges Smith, Elrod, and Higginson) denied the stay; an opinion by Judge Smith declared that the appeal was unlikely to succeed on its merits. Texas v. United States, 787 F.3d 733, 743 (5th Cir. 2015). Judge Higginson dissented. The appeal then proceeded before Judges King, Smith, and Elrod. In another opinion by Judge Smith, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the preliminary injunction on Nov. 9, 2015, this time with a strong dissent by Judge King. The court held that the states had standing; the matter was justiciable; the program should have been the subject of notice-and-comment rulemaking, and was in any event beyond the authority granted by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); and that the states had satisfied the other elements required for an injunction (substantial threat of irreparable injury; balance of harms; public interest). Judge King dissented on all of these issues. 809 F.3d 134 (5th Cir. 2015).

The U.S. sought certiorari review in the Supreme Court in a petition filed just a few days later, on Nov. 20, 2015: the speedy petition was to try to enable the Court to complete review of the case before the end of the 2015 term (that is, by the end of June 2016). On Jan. 20, 2016, the Court granted review. The case was argued in the Supreme Court on Apr. 18, 2016, two months after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. The Supreme Court was divided 4-4 on the issue, so on June 23, 2016, the Court issued a per curiam order affirming the Fifth Circuit without opinion. 579 U.S. 547. The U.S. petitioned for a rehearing.

Back in the District Court, on May 19, 2016, Judge Hanen addressed alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. (DOJ had lawyers told the Court that the new DACA/DAPA programs were not being implemented. In fact, as they later informed the Court, most of the new provisions were indeed stayed, but DHS had begun to grant 3-year extensions of DACA status, rather than the prior program’s 2-year extensions.) Judge Hanen ordered all DOJ lawyers admitted to practice in any of the plaintiff states to take a continuing legal education program centered around ethics, led by non-DOJ teachers. The Court also stated that due to the conduct of the lawyers, it would seek to revoke the pro hac vice status of the out-of-state lawyers who had appeared before it. Finally, the Court ordered DOJ to provide the Court with a list of all the DACA applicants so he could consider giving that list to the plaintiff states. This list would have included tens of thousands of immigrant youths who received three-year DACA grants between Nov. 2014 and Feb. 2015.

The U.S. immediately sought a stay in the district court, and a stay and mandamus in the Fifth Circuit. On June 7, 2016, Judge Hanen stayed his own address disclosure and ethics order.

In an Aug. 31, 2016 status conference, the parties agreed that the district court should continue the stay until the Supreme Court ruled on the U.S.'s petition for rehearing. Once the Supreme Court denied this petition on Oct. 3, Judge Hanen ordered the parties to confer on a scheduling order. They did so, and returned to the court on Nov. 18 with a proposal to stay proceedings on the merits of the plaintiffs' claims until Feb. 20, 2017, following the installation of the Trump administration.

On Jan. 19, 2017 -- the day before the Trump inauguration -- Judge Hanen revisited the issue of the sanctions against DOJ lawyers. After extensively criticizing DOJ's alleged misconduct, Judge Hanen let stand his May 19, 2016 opinion but withdrew the sanctions order because no harm had ensued from the conduct.

On Mar. 22, 2017, Judge Hanen granted the parties' request to stay the merits proceedings. Over the next several months, Judge Hanen granted several continuances of the stay, since the U.S. had not yet changed its guidance on DACA or DAPA.

After DHS issued guidelines phasing out DACA and expanded-DACA and rescinding DAPA, on Sept. 12, 2017 plaintiffs filed a stipulation of voluntary dismissal.

This case is now closed.
