Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas has refused to lift a temporary block on a White House immigration plan that would have shielded millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, court documents show.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, a city along the border with Mexico, rejected a U.S. Justice Department request to remove a ban on the plan he issued in February.
Twenty-six U.S. states filed a lawsuit alleging Obama had exceeded his powers with executive orders that would let up to 4.7 million illegal immigrants stay in the country without threat of deportation. Obama's orders bypassed Congress, which has not been able to agree on immigration reform.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement on Tuesday that the Obama Administration misled the court regarding early implementation of expanded work permits to illegal immigrants. . .

Good! Best news all week.
The Obama/Holder DOJ lied to the judge about how many illegals they had already allowed into the country.
And you can safely bet your last dollar that they are also lying to him when they say they have complied with his order to place the program on hold.
This is great news. The 5th circuit is floundering now on a moot request by the thugs in the justice department. This order can be appealed— no the appeal to force him to rule. I know of 1 judge on the 5th who will rip and tare on this dictator.
God Bless our side... glad to see they’re hanging in ...
JMO.
Hanen ruled last night. Story has been overshadowed for most by the cop shooting in Charleston.
Like a spelling bee championship or a fight in some McDonalds somewhere.
The MSM will never report anything that makes Obama look less than Godlike.
But this is great news.
"If you like your sovereignty, you can keep your sovereignty."
Suggest the link in post 1 to understand how skillfully Hanen handled this.
BTTT!
Great news ping!
It’s been making it’s way onto several websites in the last 10 hours or so.
Bttt
Now we need to put a stop to the plan to fly thousands of illegal alien children into the US for free (free for them and their parents), ignoring US immigration laws.
Excuse me but.....damn straight!
Does this mean Hussein will stop importing ILLEGALS? I thought not.
