Washington (CNN) One of the attorneys general that was threatening to challenge the Trump administration on DACA has backed off his threat, citing a "human element" in his calculation and urging Congress to act instead. The Tennessee attorney general had been part of a group of 10 states that were threatening the Trump administration to add the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to ongoing litigation in an unfriendly court if President Donald Trump doesn't sunset the program by September 5.
