Ten ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents filed a lawsuit against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano last week challenging the new Deferred Action/Dream Act policy. They claim that this new directive forces ICE officials to break the law and ignore their duties of deporting individuals who lack legal immigration status.
The lawsuit was filed in Texas federal court. The ICE agents argue that the Deferred Action/Dream Act policy violates the separation between the legislative and executive branches of government.
So far, the Supreme Court has ruled that the government has the power of “Prosecutorial Discretion,” which is what defenders of the Deferred Action/Dream Act argue.
