- In Austin, advocacy groups including the ACLU of Texas filed a motion to intervene on behalf of LUPE, the ACC Board, and Silva to defend the Texas Dream Act against DOJ and Paxton.
- On June 4, 2025, the DOJ sued Texas to block the bipartisan 2001 Texas Dream Act, with AG Paxton quickly entering a consent judgment hours later.
- ACLU of Texas and allies filed to intervene on behalf of LUPE, the ACC Board, and Silva to defend the Texas Dream Act against the DOJ and AG Paxton.
