Statement by Principal Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz
We
are pleased that the D.C. Circuit did not allow Sheriff Arpaio's
lawsuit to stand in the way of commonsense measures to advance public
safety and bring greater accountability
to our immigration system. The court correctly recognized that the
Constitution does not permit federal courts to hear lawsuits that rest
on baseless speculation. As the district court properly observed, the
deferred action programs that Sheriff Arpaio challenged
represent the “valid exercise of prosecutorial discretion.” We will
continue to work toward resolving the legal challenges so that the
Administration can move forward with implementing all of the President's
commonsense immigration policies.
