A Texas federal judge early this week refused to lift his injunction in halting the Obama administration’s immigration process to deferring over 4 million individuals living in the United States illegally.
District Judge Andre Hanen shot down a request by the Obama administration to lift his ruling on February of temporarily halting the administration from proceeding with its immigration actions, as announced last year by President Barack Obama.
The Justice Department already made an appeal on the issue to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is ready hear the oral arguments next week.
In shooting down the administration’s request, Hanen believes his February ruling was the right decision. His previous ruling found that the immigration policy of the Obama administration wasn’t properly issued within federal law grounds, which is the Administrative Procedure Act.
Hanen also made another ruling on Tuesday that allows states to investigate their claim of the administration not properly carrying out certain aspects of the immigration program.
