DAPA is fucking dead and I am floored

DAPA--the program which safeguards illegal alien parents from deportation if they have legal kids--is dead.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has deep-sixed an Obama-era program to have 21 taxpayer-funded agency officials cooperate with anti-deportation, pro-amnesty groups.

I direct the Director of ICE to immediately reallocate any and all resources that are currently used to advocate on behalf of illegal aliens (except as necessary to comply with a judicial order) to the new VOICE Office, and to immediately terminate the provision of such outreach or advocacy services to illegal aliens.

Surprised he took so long to nix that.

How the fuck does this sail through but a thirty day travel ban gets a million screeches from cat ladies? This is a borderline constitutional issue I thought.

I'm betting this got a shitload more scrutiny and rewriting/rewording by lawyers than the travel ban.
(Because of what happened with the travel ban... I'd bet they'll scrutinize everything from now on to ensure they don't get another travel ban saga happening)

That and also, this was not an Executive order it is rescinding an Executive Order. You can't challenge statutory authority when the change you want required that in the first place.

California state lawmakers approved $45 million in a state budget plan to expand legal services for immigrants, a response to the Trump administration's call to increase deportations.

The funds, greater than what Gov. Jerry Brown earmarked in May and which will be an ongoing allocation through 2020, will go to a coalition of legal services agencies, immigrant rights groups and faith-based organizations called One California.

The $30-million legal assistance program, run by the state Department of Social Services, was first assembled to help thousands of immigrants apply for naturalization and former President Obama’s deferred action programs. With the additional money, providers will now also be able to help immigrants fighting deportation or removal proceedings.

They should've put that money toward a state secession fund. Flaunting the federal government hasn't worked out well in the past.
