DAPA Program to Remain on Hold
Today, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals announced a decision to maintain the hold in place on the current DAPA program, pending litigation in Texas. This spring, Texas and various other states sued to keep this program from happening, alleging that it would economically harm those states. A federal judge in Texas agreed, and halted the program until a full hearing could take place on the program.
Attorneys for the Department of Justice appealed the decision to halt the program. Today, the Court of Appeals upheld the decision to temporarily block the program until the matter could be resolved in the trial courts. It is unclear whether the United States Supreme Court will be asked to review that decision.
The full matter will now be heard by the trial court in Texas and the DAPA program will remain halted until that time.
