A federal appeals court refused Tuesday to lift a temporary hold on President Obama's executive action that could shield from deportation as many as 5 million immigrants illegally living in the U.S.
The U.S. Justice Department had asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse a Texas judge who agreed to temporarily block the president's plan in February, after 26 states filed a lawsuit alleging Obama's action was unconstitutional. But two out of three judges on a court panel voted to deny the government's request.
It wasn't immediately clear if the government would appeal, either to the full appeals court in New Orleans or to the U.S. Supreme Court

Judges: Prepare for an IRS audit!
Bttt
Better chance in NO than with the supes.
Judicial watch needs to demand the identification and addresses of all those illegals Obama has let in to the country illegally (they had to sign up right?) so their deportation can be fast-tracked.
Like it will matter. Obama and the massive progressive-left US government bureaucracy will ultimately do what it wants.
What good will this do? Not a thing. The invasion continues on a daily basis.
Please appeal to the Supreme Court. I don’t think even as messed up as they are they could do less than strike this down hard.
Really curious as to the reasoning of the dissent. I wonder if it was an argument against the merits, or simply that no ‘lasting harm’ could come with lifting the stay.
Now for the enforcement!
does Obama really pay attention to these? Honestly it is good news
FOX NEWS should be on fire tonight!!!
Its just the injunction so I doubt it will get appealed to SC. Barry will either ignore or find some other avenue to screw with the country....gee what could that be? Ah, tada, the trade bill.
Yes the dingbats are trying to figure out what's the fastest way to a corrupt judge.
Appealing En banc to the 5th circuit would likely have same results, and Scalia would deny it too before they could appeal it to another SCOTUS libjudge...a Moonbat.
Keep the clock running on Obama. ;-)
After reading the dissent, I am left with a WTF look. I saw nothing in his dissent that made any sense. Claimed the suit was political not an legal issue. DOH, letting Millions violate the law and then be given tax payer bennies for doing so is NOT an legal issue. Me thinks someone didn't want to make Obie mad.
Shepard Smith is going to soil his depends...
The courts are just documenting that the administration is acting outside of the law. We will see how this plays out.
Do you have a link to the dissent? And gosh, 3/4 of what the appeals courts deal with are political in nature. Never seems to stop them from making bad rulings on the cases. Was there a single homosexual shacking up case that wasn’t a political question and not one of the law?
Stephen Higginson is an Obama appointee with aspirations of a Supreme Court appointment. No further reasoning is required.
