A federal court in Texas has temporarily frozen an executive order that has the potential to give amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants in the United States.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on Monday froze a program created by the White House earlier this year that provides deportation protections and other amnesty benefits to illegal migrants who are married to U.S. citizens, according to court documents. The court decision comes less than a week after a coalition of GOP-led states suedthe Biden-Harris administration over the order, seeking a temporary restraining order.
“This is a huge victory in our courtroom battle to block the Biden-Harris executive fiat giving over 1 million illegal aliens a path to U.S. citizenship,” America First Legal president Stephen Miller said, according to a press release.
“That executive decree is now frozen,” Miller continued. “America First Legal is deeply honored to partner with Attorney General Paxton, Attorney General Labrador, along with 14 other states to fight this unconstitutional mass amnesty.”
President Joe Biden unveiled the executive order in June during a White House celebration of the 12-year anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The
