President Obama’s lawyers admitted to a federal judge late Thursday that they had broken the court’s injunction halting the administration’s new deportation amnesty, issuing thousands of work permits even after Judge Andrew S. Hanen had ordered the program stopped.
The stunning admission, filed just before midnight in Texas, where the case is being heard, is the latest misstep for the administration’s lawyers, who are facing possible sanctions by Judge Hanen for their continued problems in arguing the case.
The Justice Department lawyers said Homeland Security, which is the defendant in the case, told them Wednesday that an immigration agency had approved about 2,000 applications for three-year work permits, which was part of Mr. Obama’s new amnesty, even after Judge Hanen issued his Feb. 16 injunction halting the entire program.
Top Obama officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, had repeatedly assured Congress they had fully halted the program and were complying with the order.
“The government sincerely regrets these circumstances and is taking immediate steps to remedy these erroneous three-year terms,” the administration lawyers said.
The Justice Department didn’t respond to a request for comment Friday morning but Homeland Security officials said Mr. Johnson has asked his department’s inspector general to investigate what went wrong.
Homeland Security officials also said they’re going back to try to revoke the three-year permits and reissue them as two-year permits instead.
Judge Hanen had already been pondering whether to sanction the Justice Department lawyers after they admitted to misleading him — they said inadvertently — on more than 100,000 amnesty applications approved between the Nov. 20 date Mr. Obama announced the new program and the Feb. 16 date the judge issued his injunction.

GO STAIGHT TO JAIL!
A lawless government
Here's what the thugs need to remember:
It's 549 days, 18 hours, and 40 minutes until Obama's out of office. And none of us will ever make this mistake again.
Well said, agree.
But how are we going to stop single females from voting? There are millions now who will vote for Hillary SOLELY BECAUSE she has a VAGINA. Never mind Benghazi, illegal server and deletion of emails, illegal foreign donations, violations of RICO laws, Whitewater and Vince Foster's death, etc..
None of *us* made that mistake before. But there are plenty who WILL happily make the same mistake again. And again. And again.
It’s not that we don’t make mistakes it’s that we don’t wallow in the filth and hatred liberals wallow in.
It’s NOT a mistake when a judge tells you not to do it. That’s intentional. When Reagan made illegals citizens he was doing it as a kindness. Democrat lowlife filth are doing this to gather more democrat voters and to bring down the United States by bankrupting our country and keep wages low by pitting us against people who will work for nothing.
Can you see the difference.?
Sorry - thought I was responding to a different thread...
