Judge Blocks Trump's DACA Rollback Nationwide

Jeffrey Davidson is quoted in a Law360 article regarding a nationwide injunction issued by U.S. District Judge William Alsup that prevents the government from proceeding with its plan to roll back the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Davidson, who serves as counsel for the University of California, one of the plaintiffs in the case, says that he is pleased that the decision recognized the Administration’s flawed approach to the revocation of DACA. “Congressional action is still needed to provide a permanent solution, but in the meantime, this decision will protect the nearly 800,000 DACA recipients against deportation or losing their jobs,” he adds.
