Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller has joined 15-attorneys general in a federal lawsuit, challenging President Donald Trump's order to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA program.
Miller says the suit alleges the Trump Administration's actions violate due process, deny equal protection, and cause immediate harm to those whom DACA is intended to protect.
“DACA has protected hundreds of thousands of young people, including nearly 2,800 here in Iowa, who arrived illegally as children, grew up following the rules, and are very much a part of our fabric,” Miller said. “Our lawsuit alleges the Trump administration’s action to dismantle DACA violates peoples’ due process, denies them equal protection under our constitution, and causes ‘immediate harm’ to those whom DACA is intended to protect.”
