You are right it is up to the Courts and Congress to intervene to counteract this. How much can they do about an Executive Order from the President to the (Executive) Department of Homeland Security through its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) force to exercise prosecutorial discretion in not seeking deportation of a certain group of immigrants? I really don't know. (At the current rate of deportation it would take about 27-30 yrs to deport all of the 11M+ illegal immigrants in the US. At the rate of deportations under W it would have taken over 50yrs. Is there a law about who to deport first? Should there be?) There is a very interesting Separation of Powers issue here that is not likely to be answered without action by both the Courts and Congress. The Courts are very reluctant to intervene in disputes between the Executive and the Legislature.
