Obama Immigration Plan Delayed by Court Injunction

By Attorney Gail Seeram, [email protected]

“This is not the first time where a lower court judge has blocked something or attempted to block something that ultimately is going to be lawful, and I’m confident that it is well within my authority.”  – stated President Obama after a federal judge in Texas recently ordered a halt to the president’s executive actions on immigration.  President Obama added, “I think that the law is on our side and history is on our side, we are going to appeal it.”

“We are confident that the courts will ultimately side with the scores of legal experts, state leaders, city officials, and law enforcement leaders who say that these immigration initiatives are both in full compliance with law and deeply beneficial to our communities, society, and country,” said Marielena Hincapie of the National Immigration Law Center.

President Obama is confident deferred action will be implemented for millions of immigrants because his administration will appeal the lower court injunction on his executive action plan. The White House said the U.S. Department of Justice will file an appeal, which will be heard by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

The Federal Judge stalled Obama’s Immigration Executive Action as a result of a lawsuit filed by 26 states (including Texas) claiming they will “suffer irreparable harm in this case.” Judge Hanen, an outspoken critic of the Obama administration, found that the states had satisfied the minimum legal requirements to bring their lawsuit. As Judge Hanen issued an injunction to delay the Obama Immigration Executive Action, he said the Obama administration had failed to comply with basic administrative procedures for putting such a sweeping program into effect.

When President Obama first implemented DACA – Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a lawsuit was filed against him and he won, and DACA was successfully implemented.  The Republicans have criticized President Obama’s confidence on immigration and accused him of exceeding his executive action, but many Republican Presidents in the past have used executive power for worse actions – such as invading countries.

President Obama is confident that the immigration policy he has implemented will protect millions of hard-working undocumented immigrants from deportation, keep them united with their U.S. citizen children, and help young immigrants work and attend college.  In the end, President Obama believes immigration will improve America’s economy and tradition of embracing immigrants.

Federal Judge Hanen’s injunction on the Obama Immigration Executive Action will be a temporary roadblock, as the U.S. Supreme Court will rule that the President is within his authority to issue his executive action of deportation protection for nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
