If the court does not act on Friday, it could do so on Tuesday, after Monday's Presidents Day holiday. "The president, by ending the DACA program because it was unconstitutional and then turning to Congress and saying, 'Fix it,' created an opportunity," Goodlatte said.

On Tuesday, a second US judge issued a similar injunction ordering the Trump administration to keep DACA in place.
