Judge grants preliminary injunction to block Biden’s deportation pause
A Trump-appointed U.S. judge has granted Texas’ request for a preliminary injunction to block President Joe Biden’s 100-day pause on deporting illegal immigrants, a ruling shows.
U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton granted the request in Tuesday’s ruling, as posted by Washington Post reporter Maria Sacchetti on Twitter.
“The State of Texas moves for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the United States (the ‘Government’) from executing a 100-day pause on the removal of aliens already subject to a final Order of Removal,” Tipton said.
In late January, Tipton granted a temporary restraining order sought by Texas to block Biden’s freeze on deportations of illegal immigrants, arguing that the move violates the law.
The temporary restraining order was later extended for 14 days until Feb. 23. (Sputnik/NAN)
