Statement A.G. Schneiderman On Federal Court Ruling Granting Preliminary Injunction in DACA case
Source: New York AG Official Statement
Today, a federal judge granted Attorney General Schneiderman and his fellow Attorneys Generals motion for a preliminary injunction to block President Trumps rescission of DACA. Attorney General Schneiderman leads the coalition of 17 AGs that sued in September 2017 to defend DACA and protect DREAMers. The court heard arguments on Attorney General Schneidermans motion for preliminary injunction on January 30th, 2018.
Attorney General Schneiderman released the following statement:
Federal courts from coast to coast have now reviewed the record and reached the same conclusion: President Trumps decision to rescind DACA was illegal.
Todays federal court ruling is a victory for the over 42,000 New York Dreamers and more than 700,000 Dreamers across the country. There is much more work ahead to permanently preserve DACA and protect the millions of American families, businesses, hospitals, and universities that depend on Dreamers every day to succeed, but today is an important step forward in that fight.
Todays ruling reflects not only the illegality of the Trump Administrations move to rescind DACA, but also the clear and demonstrable benefits DACA provides to New Yorkers across our great state.
I am proud to lead a coalition of 17 state attorneys general who have been fighting in court since September to protect Dreamers and preserve this vital program.
