American States Sue Trump Administration over Amnesty Program
Local Editor
A coalition of US states sued the Trump administration Wednesday over its decision to end an amnesty program for 800,000 people brought illegally to the US as minors.
The lawsuit was filed in New York federal court by Democratic attorneys general of 15 states including New York, Illinois and Hawaii, as well as the District of Columbia.
It alleges the White House discriminated against immigrants of Mexican origin, who are the vast majority of the amnesty program's recipients, and violated Constitutional due process rights that protect against arbitrary punishment.
The Donald Trump administration said Tuesday it was ending the Deferred Acton for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] program instituted by Trump's predecessor Barack Obama.
The Republican president said Congress should instead enact immigration reform.
In announcing the lawsuit, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman accused Trump of "anti-Mexican bias."
The lawsuit comes after Texas, leading a different coalition of 10 conservative states, on Tuesday dropped a legal challenge to DACA first filed in 2015.
