Texas with a 4-4 split decision. As a result, the injunction on President Obama\u2019s immigration executive actions \u2013 the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program \u2013 will stand. The decision does not affect those who have benefitted from the original 2012 DACA program.\nCongressman Ruben Gallego issued the following statement:\n\u201cWhile today\u2019s disappointing decision doesn\u2019t set Supreme Court precedent, it is an unfortunate setback for the immigrant families who now must continue to live in fear of separation.\n\u201cThe DAPA and expanded DACA programs are a legal, commonsense exercise of the President\u2019s longstanding authority to determine how to best use our resources and determine priorities when it comes to our immigration laws.\n\u201cThis fight is not over. I will continue to work with the tireless advocates who are fighting to protect immigrant families and to make sure that every member of our community can live in dignity.\n\u201cI am confident that this case will again be brought to the Supreme Court, and next time will be heard by a full panel of justices who will see through the political motives of this case and deliver a clear decision.\u201d\n\u201cIn the meantime, it\u2019s time for my Republican colleagues in Congress to stop playing games and start doing their jobs. Let\u2019s get to work and reform our broken immigration system.\u201d\n\u00a0\n##", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://rubengallego.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-ruben-gallego-statement-us-v-texas-supreme-court-decision"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8752830326557159, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
