Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California
What's at Stake
Whether the federal courts are precluded from reviewing the lawfulness of the federal government鈥檚 rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (鈥淒ACA鈥�) program under the Administrative Procedure Act because the decision is one that is 鈥渃ommitted to agency discretion by law鈥�?
Summary
The federal government contends that the plaintiffs鈥� legal challenge to the rescission of the DACA program cannot be reviewed by the federal courts because the decision involves an exercise of enforcement discretion that is unreviewable under the Administrative Procedure Act because it is 鈥渃ommitted to agency discretion by law.鈥� This amicus brief by Public Citizen, Natural Resources Defense Counsel, and 老澳门开奖结果 argues that plaintiffs鈥� legal challenge is not precluded, because decades of federal court cases recognize that a general policy concerning enforcement or non-enforcement is judicially reviewable under the Administrative Procedure Act.
