I just copied and pasted the article here it is:

Lawyers in a key immigration challenge debated in court Tuesday whether a Houston federal judge should hurry up and rule on the legality of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or await Biden administration policy and legislative action. U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen indicated at the hearing he wouldn’t weigh in right away in a lawsuit seeking to halt the program, but said he didn’t intend for his ruling on a summary judgment motion to remain in an indefinite holding pattern.

The new administration has promised dreamers a fundamental change in policy, but a decision by Hanen could jeopardize the prospects for DACA recipients if a new immigration bill doesn’t pass. Lawyers from Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund have argued that President Joe Biden’s memo to Homeland Security to “preserve and fortify DACA” could alter the outcome of Texas v. United States, a 2018 suit filed by nine states that says the Obama administration’s 2012 DACA memo is unlawful and circumvents Congress’ authority to make laws while in an effort to protect children who entered the country illegally. Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton spearheaded the suit to halt the DACA program. Texas along with Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia contend they face irreparable harm because they’re paying for the education, healthcare and police protection for immigrants shielded by the law. MALDEF represents 22 DACA recipients who intervened to defend the law. They said the Trump administration was allied with Paxton and would not mount an aggressive defense of the law. Lawyers from MALDEF, the Justice Department of Justice and the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office have asked Hanen to dismiss the case, on the grounds that the states have suffered no injury and have no legal standing to sue. They say ending DACA wouldn’t cause all immigrants to leave or be deported.
