Texas v. DHS
"[T]he record establishes that the number of CHNV nationals entering the United States since the Program’s implementation has dramatically decreased by as much as 44 percent. Plaintiffs, therefore, are unable to demonstrate that they have been injured by the Program, and as a result, they lack standing to bring these claims. ... The Court finds that Plaintiffs have not proven that Texas has suffered an injury and therefore do not have standing to maintain this suit. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Court DENIES all requested relief and will enter a final judgment by separate order. It is SO ORDERED."
