Today the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument regarding President Obama's proposed DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans) and DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) II programs.
The Fifth Circuit will not make a decision today, but will take the case under advisement.
The DAPA and DACA II programs were scheduled to take effect on May 19, 2015, but a federal district court judge in Texas placed an injunction on the proposed programs in February of this year.
Today's Fifth Circuit panel was comprised of three judges. Judges Jennifer Elrod, a George W. Bush appointee, and Stephen Higginson, an Obama appointee, often interrupted the legal arguments with queries. Judge Jerry Smith, a Ronald Reagan appointee, was the third judge on the panel.
During oral argument, protesters gathered outside the courthouse and chants and drums could be heard by those inside the building.
