Sharing some highlights from today's decision in our Batalla case on this thread.
1) Court holds that @DHS_Wolf was not lawfully appointed as Secretary of DHS
2) That means the gutting of the DACA program by Wolf is invalid.
3) The court certified a nationwide class 1/
@DHS_Wolf What does this mean for current #DACA recipients and those eligible to apply?
--The memo making DACA renewals only 1 years instead of 2 years is invalid
--The memo saying that new applicants cannot apply for DACA is invalid
--Advance parole should be restored to 2012 terms

@DHS_Wolf What does the class certification mean?

It means that the court's order is NOT limited only to the named plaintiffs. Instead, the order applies to all people who are or will be eligible for DACA based on the terms of the program from 2012 (from the Obama Admin).

@DHS_Wolf There is one exception: individuals who file their own lawsuits challenging the Wolf memo are excluded from the class certification. So the DACA plaintiffs in the cases in California, are excluded because they have their own case. 4/
@DHS_Wolf The court directed the parties to immediately contact the court to "schedule a conference to advise on any forthcoming motions for relief in light of the court's decision." So, we have some work to do this weekend. Good work. Or what John Lewis called good, necessary trouble. 5/

BREAKING: federal court in CA upholds all of CA's VALUES Act (SB 54) in stinging rebuke to Attorney General Sessions's attempt to scare states from passing policies to protect their communities' values. Opinion here: caed.uscourts.gov/caednew/assets… #CommunityTrust
@NDLON's legal director's @newman_chris on the USvCA decision: "the implementation and legal vindication of SB 54 has recently taken on a new meaning, serving as a political & policy blueprint—as a starting point for those seeking to remove ICE from their communities." /2
The court also rejected Sessions' challenge to CA's Dignity, Not Detention bill finding the requirement for the CA AG to review & report on the facilities the fed govt uses in CA to jail immigrants lawful. This provision = > important than ever given Trump's cruel policies. /3
