LOS ÁNGELES, California.- California demandó este lunes al gobierno del presidente Donald Trump por la decisión de poner fin en seis meses la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA), programa que protege temporalmente de la deportación a unos 800,000 jóvenes indocumentados beneficiarios.
La demanda presentada por el fiscal estatal, Xavier Becerra, tiene argumentos similares a la acción legal presentada la semana pasada por 15 estados y Washington DC: señala que el gobierno viola la Constitución y otras leyes al rescindir DACA.
A California se le unieron, en impugnaciones por separado, los estados de Maryland, Maine y Minnesota.
Becerra había advertido que California presentaría su propia demanda porque más de 200,000 beneficiados por el DACA viven en el estado y sería el más afectado con su cancelación.
California sued the Trump administration Monday over its decision to end a program that shields young immigrants from deportation, saying it would be especially hard hit because it has more of the immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally by parents or by parents who overstayed visas than any other U.S. state.
The lawsuit's legal arguments largely mirror those already filed in a lawsuit last week by 15 other states and the District of Columbia. Attorney generals for the states of Maine, Maryland and Minnesota joined California's lawsuit.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said California's case is stronger than the first lawsuit, filed last week, because more than 200,000 of the 800,000 participants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program live in the state.
