Just hours after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the White House's move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a young New York immigrant has filed a lawsuit arguing that the decision "violate[s] federal law and the equal protection guarantee of the Constitution," according to a press release shared with CNBC via email.
Batalla Vidal, a 26-year-old Mexican immigrant and DACA recipient, in conjunction with nonprofit group Make the Road New York, went to federal court Tuesday to challenge the Trump administration's termination of the Obama-era program that protects an estimated 800,000 people who entered the United States illegally as children.
The case, Batalla Vidal v. Baran, et al, was originally filed in 2016 challenging a court decision that blocked the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program and the expansion of DACA from going into effect.

I don't think non Americans can sue the Government, this will definately cause friction between these illegals and the Country they're illegally squatting in.

Anybody or any entity can sue anybody.
It's up to the courts to determine "Merritt".

I don't know why they don't take their time and money to becoming a citizen legally, instead of insisting the law does not apply to them.
What other laws do they think don't apply to them? How can they expect to be considered law abiding citizens if they think they can pick and chose what laws to obey?
If they want to stay here, wouldn't the easiest way to do that is legally?

While the right to bear arms extends to unauthorized non-citizens in the U.S., the Second Amendment also allows for limits. That includes a federal law banning unauthorized immigrants and nonimmigrant visa holders from possessing firearms, the court concluded.
