The Trump administration repealed a Texas law supporting financial aid for 'Dreamers', leveraging a quick legal maneuver that circumvented the state legislature and disregarded public will. Despite bipartisan support for the Dream Act over nearly 25 years, the Department of Justice and Texas Attorney General initiated a joint motion to declare it unconstitutional, obtaining court approval within hours. This act highlights a broader concern regarding the erosion of democracy at the state level, which is essential to the federalist system of governance. Organizations like Democracy Forward have stepped in to defend the legality of this act in court.
President Trump's administration scrapped a Texas law that provided financial aid for 'Dreamers,' undermining a nearly 25-year bipartisan agreement, through a joint motion with the Texas Attorney General.
The Department of Justice's swift action to declare the Texas Dream Act unconstitutional occurred within six hours, circumventing the democratic process and the will of the Texas people.
Efforts to dismantle the Texas Dream Act are part of a broader trend that threatens state-level democracy, a vital component of America's federalist system.
Democracy Forward, alongside other organizations, has filed to defend the Texas Dream Act, emphasizing that constitutional judgments should occur through courts and not executive maneuvers.
