Judge blocks Joe Biden’s Executive order halting deportations

One of the many Executive Orders Joe Biden signed on his first day in office was an order which halted the deportation of illegal immigrants for at least 100 days. Texas filed suit against the President and today a Federal Judge put a temporary halt on the order. Here is more:

A federal district judge has blocked President Joe Biden’s halt to deportations for illegal aliens after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the administration.

Hours after taking office on January 20, Biden signed an executive order that halts deportations of most illegal aliens for at least 100 days. The order came as illegal immigration has spiked in recent months and a migrant caravan heads to the United States-Mexico border in the hopes of taking advantage of the Biden administration’s lax enforcement policies.

Last week, Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, asking a federal judge to block the order noting the negative impact it would have on the state of Texas and its social services.

Following a hearing, U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton blocked the order for 14 days

The 14 day halt can be extended another 14 days and this is apparently to give Texas time to seek an injunction. This is just the first step, we have seen how this works over the last 4 years. This will be fought all the way to the Supreme Court and how that schizophrenic court will rule is anybody’s guess.
