The court in our Batalla case has just ruled that the Wolf memo must be set aside. Here's what this means:
--The DACA program must return to how it was before the effort by the Trump administration's effort to end the program on Sept. 5, 2017. #HomeIsHere

No later than Monday, the federal govt must post on all of its websites that it is accepting first-time DACA initial applications, renewal requests, and advance parole on the terms as they existed before September 5, 2017--when the Trump administration first tried to end DACA /2

This same notice must make clear that all 65,800 1-year DACA grants and work authorizations issued after the unlawful Wolf memo will be extended to 2-years. /3

Here are my take aways from the the govt brief filed in the Batalla #DACA case now. As a recap, the Court ruled on Nov. 14 that the Wolf memo gutting DACA valid was issued without legal authority. The question in these briefs is what the court should require the govt to do. /1

THIS JUMPED OUT AT ME. 65,800 is the number of 1-year DACA grants and work permits issued since the unlawful Wolf memo. That's 65,800 people who got 1-year grants unlawfully and now should get 2-year grants /2

Also, the federal government agrees that the court should now set aside the Wolf memo & that relief should run nationwide to the class certified of all DACA recipients & DACA eligible individuals. AND, the federal govt agrees this means DACA should return to its 2012 version. /3

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

@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

@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).

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

@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
