HOUSTON (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday barred the U.S. government from enforcing a 100-day deportation moratorium that is a key immigration priority of President Joe Biden.

U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton issued a temporary restraining order sought by Texas, which sued on Friday against a Department of Homeland Security memo that instructed immigration agencies to pause most deportations. Tipton said the Biden administration had failed “to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations.”

Tipton’s order is an early blow to the Biden administration, which has proposed far-reaching changes sought by immigration advocates, including a plan to legalize an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. Biden promised during his campaign to issue the moratorium.

The order represents a victory for Texas’ Republican leaders, who often sued to stop programs enacted by Biden’s Democratic predecessor, President Barack Obama. It also showed that just as Democratic-led states and immigration groups fought former President Donald Trump over immigration in court, often successfully, so too will Republicans with Biden in office.

While Tipton’s order bars enforcement of a moratorium, it does not require deportations to resume at their previous pace. Immigration agencies typically have latitude in processing cases and scheduling removal flights. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A Republican District Judge from Texas, shocking, as you know full well, it is only the beginning of a long legal process, and if he wants, Biden, as Trump did on a number of occasions, just change the wording and begin anew

great!! we must wait until mexico pays for it. fuck a goddamn wall. half the people here illegally came in legally and overstayed. the wall would not even affect that. and a wall can be breached without constant surveillance, so why build a huge wall when really we just need more surveillance? technology, cheap barriers that stop vehicles and do not destroy the environment and cost so many times more to build. LIKE WE HAD ALREADY....DUH....

Nope. It'll get thrown out. Trump didn't just 'change the wording' and file anew, liar.

Okay, so by your reckoning we could cut illegal immigration in half by using a wall. Works for me.

As for vehicle barriers, and such...

The Organ Pipe National Monument is the most endangered park in the National Park system due entirely to illegal immigration. Recovery might take centuries. A wall on the border will reduce or eliminate that issue.
