Washington D.C. (United States), Sep 07 (ANI): As many as 15 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have filed a lawsuit in New York, to block President Donald Trump's plan to end the programme protecting young immigrants from deportation - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). The suit was first announced by Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who called Trump's act ‘a dark time for our country’. The groups laid out five different constitutional arguments against Trump's move, saying it was motivated by discriminatory reasons, that it violated due process by being ‘fundamentally unfair,’ and that it violated laws that dictate procedures for federal regulations.
