| https://rubengallego.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-ruben-gallego-statement-us-v-texas-supreme-court-decision | Rep. Ruben Gallego Statement on the U.S. v. Texas Supreme Court Decision | 2016-06-23 | 2016 | 2016-06 | Democrat | House | AZ | Ruben Gallego | G000574 | rubengallego.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC – Today the Supreme Court affirmed the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in U.S. v. Texas with a 4-4 split decision. As a result, the injunction on President Obama’s immigration executive actions – the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program – will stand. The decision does not affect those who have benefitted from the original 2012 DACA program. Congressman Ruben Gallego issued the following statement: “While today’s disappointing decision doesn’t set Supreme Court precedent, it is an unfortunate setback for the immigrant families who now must continue to live in fear of separation. “The DAPA and expanded DACA programs are a legal, commonsense exercise of the President’s longstanding authority to determine how to best use our resources and determine priorities when it comes to our immigration laws. “This 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. “I 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.” “In the meantime, it’s time for my Republican colleagues in Congress to stop playing games and start doing their jobs. Let’s get to work and reform our broken immigration system.” ## | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
