“If President Trump follows through on his reported decision to cancel DACA after a six-month delay, the Washington Attorney General’s Office will file suit to halt this cruel and illegal policy and defend DACA recipients,” Ferguson said in a statement.

“We have been working closely with legal teams around the country, and we expect to be joined by other states in this action.”

Ferguson’s statement comes after New York’s governor and attorney general also said their state would sue if Trump ends the Obama-era program.
