Janet Napolitano fighting for DACA
Janet Napolitano, the former secretary of Homeland Security, helped craft the program that President Trump wants to kill.

Napolitano sued the Trump administration on Friday to protect the hundreds of thousands undocumented immigrants of being taken away their work authorization or being deported. She was the creator of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA).
The former Secretary of Homeland Security, claims that Trump administration decision to revoke the program infringes the Administrative Procedure Act and constitutional due to process. The law suit immediately following by a complaint of 15 states and the District of Columbia and a challenge by a former recipient of the program. All intending to protect DACA.
Even though the lawsuits were not fruitful, is possible that more federal judges could issue a restriction of the termination of DACA.
Trump give a six months’ window to work with the congress before many Dreamers lose their work permits and protections. Napolitano wants to keep fighting.
“I believe that in this case the court should act,” Napolitano said, “or in the alternative Congress should act and settle this matter for once and for all.”
