Attorney General Ken Paxton achieved a significant legal victory in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The court affirmed a district court's decision, declaring the Biden Administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy unlawful.
The Fifth Circuit determined that Texas succeeded on the merits and sent the case back to the district court for additional proceedings.
"This is a win for Texas. I am pleased the Fifth Circuit found that the Biden Administration’s DACA policy was unlawful," said Attorney General Paxton. "I look forward to working with President-elect Donald Trump to ensure that the rule of law is restored, and the illegal immigration crisis is finally stopped. Biden’s policies unleashed historic levels of lawlessness upon this country, and it is time to start fixing the mess the outgoing administration made."
