Judge temporarily blocks Biden's plan to halt deportations

A federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked the Biden administration's pause on deportations Tuesday, delivering a blow to one of the administration's first immigration actions.

The early defeat, even if temporary, demonstrates the limits of President Joe Biden's executive actions, which are expected to be challenged in court.
Say it ain't so Joe! Trying an end run around the law? Not away to start your new Presidency.

Tuesday's order stems from a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton challenging the 100-day pause on deportations, which took effect Friday. The complaint cited in part an agreement signed between the Department of Homeland Security and Texas in the waning days of the Trump presidency that required the department to consult the state before changing or modifying policies.
Judge Drew Tipton of the Southern District of Texas, however, said the temporary restraining order was appropriate under the Administrative Procedure Act. Tipton blocked the Biden administration from executing its deportation pause for 14 days.
Tipton, appointed by President Donald Trump, also found that Texas could be harmed if the moratorium were to continue. "In light of the foregoing, the Court finds that the threat of injury to Texas outweighs any potential harm to Defendants and the public interest is served and protected by the issuance of this TRO," he wrote.

Paxton applauded the ruling, saying in a statement: "The Court's decision to stop the Biden Administration from casting aside congressionally enacted immigration laws is a much-needed remedy for DHS's unlawful action. A near-complete suspension of deportations would only serve to endanger Texans and undermine federal law."

Won’t matter. In these legislative matters district judges, usually the jurisdiction is picked because they will be against what the basis of the suit is, don’t really matter. It’ll go to the 5th circuit. They should affirm the judge then it’ll take a slow grind to the SC.

That is correct. Democrats used the same strategy during the Trump administration. Apparently, it goes back and forth.

Yep. Forum shopping is an age old trick. It was used extensively against Obama as well for DACA and Obamacare. Since a federal judge anywhere can halt federal actions just choose a jurisdiction that favorable and file for injunctive relief.

Step two in biden's plan to unify America - completely fuck up a strong anti-illegal immigrant policy ..... it reminds me of a t-shirt I bought years ago, with a picture of an Indian chief on the front of it with a caption that says: "ask the Indians what happens when you don't control immigration" .....
