Federal District Court Judge Reed O'Conner has ruled that 10 ICE agents
and officers have standing to challenge in Federal court the so-called
Morton Memo on prosecutorial discretion and the DREAM directive on

that unconstitutional and illegal directives from DHS Secretary Janet
Napolitano and ICE Director John Morton order the agents to violate
federal laws or face adverse employment actions. This is a major first
