Revised DACA program debated before judge who called it illegal

A revised version of the DACA program is set to be debated before a federal judge who previously ruled the program illegal.
Nine states have sued to end the DACA program, claiming they incur costs when immigrants are allowed to remain in the country illegally.
The new version of DACA took effect in October and was subject to public comments as part of a formal rule-making process.
The U.S. Justice Department argued that the states failed to show any direct injury because of DACA and that Congress has given the Department of Homeland Security the “authority and duty to set immigration enforcement policies.”
Whatever decision the judge makes is expected to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court for a third time.
