Federal Judge Blocks Biden Ban on Deportations; Slaps INDEFINITE Ban on 100-Day Moratorium on Deportations, and related stories
Federal judge in Texas blocks Biden ban on deportations:
A federal judge in Texas indefinitely blocked President Biden’s order banning most deportations for 100 days, dealing a blow to the administration’s efforts to turn back many of former President Donald Trump’s tightened immigration policies.
District Judge Drew Tipton issued a preliminary injunction on enforcement of the ban late Tuesday.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton earlier sued to block the ban, claiming it was “unconstitutional” and would cause substantial economic hardships on the Lone Star State to carry it out.
Tipton, a Trump appointee, in January temporarily blocked Biden’s order for 14 days because it failed “to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for the 100-day pause.” —>READ MORE HERE
Federal judge slaps indefinite ban on 100-day moratorium on deportations:
A federal judge in Texas instituted an indefinite ban on the Biden administration’s 100-day moratorium on most deportations.
U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton issued the preliminary injunction on Tuesday, halting the deportation freeze. He said the moratorium was in violation of federal law and risked imposing additional costs on the Lone Star State.
The Trump appointee’s decision poses another hurdle for the Biden administration’s plan to move away from former President Donald Trump’s border immigration policies. Still, the preliminary injunction does not force the Biden administration to continue deportations at the current rate.
The administration’s 100-day moratorium on deportations is intended to offer the Department of Homeland Security time to direct its “limited resources” toward border security and priorities, including reassessing methods for handling asylum, according to a Jan. 20 memorandum. —>READ MORE HERE
