Obama to seek emergency order restarting immigration programs
The Hill ^ | 02/20/15 01:45 PM EST | Mike Lillis

The Obama administration will seek an emergency court order to move forward with President Obama’s executive action on immigration.

Officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) plan to seek what is known as an emergency stay that would essentially undo a Texas-based federal judge's injunction from earlier this week. If the stay is granted, the government could restart a pair of executive programs that will shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said DOJ will file for the stay by "Monday at the latest."

The emergency stay had been sought by immigrant rights advocates, who want to get the programs up and running as soon as possible while the appeals process plays out.

"We — as immigrants and as Americans — have waited for nearly a quarter century for these much-needed improvements to our broken immigration system," Marielena Hincapié, head of the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), said Friday in a statement. "We should not allow a flawed legal decision to delay these changes any longer.”

If he gets the stay....I'll go back to what I said..."I don't really trust the judges order...It's a trick to get the Repubs to pass a clean Homeland Security bill.

Last week, the whitehouse said they would abide by the order.

This week, it's the usual sc*** u.

We are witnessing a sanitized version of brownshits walking into newspaper editors’ offices, trade unions, judges’ homes, and roughing them up while brandishing a revolver. The early innocent years of a fascist dictatorship.

They’ll go to the 9th Circus, or perhaps the 4th in DC.

Our immigrations system is NOT broken. It is just that the laws have been ignored for over a quarter of a century while illegal aliens have been flooding across the border.

That's an emergency???

He's going to send a lawyer to court with THAT argument?

He outdoes his own ridiculusness.

An emergency stay may be issued by the 5th Circuit, or the Trial Judge. No other Judge has jurisdiction. One judge cannot “undo” the orders of another judge. The judge has to do it himself, or his/her superior judges must.

Judges are breaking the law as like the last one which ordered for two homosexuals in TX to marry even though it is against the state law.
Why the hell are we still going along with the law when judges and elected officials are not?

This brain surgeon deemed it “flawed” so the entire government can just ignore the law.

Once again......LOL

Because you’ll get arrested. They won’t. That’s how an oligarchy works.
