The judge granted a 14-day temporary restraining order until the case could be further examined, following a request by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
A near-complete suspension of deportations would only serve to endanger Texans and undermine federal law," Paxton said in a statement.
On his first day in the White House Biden signed a moratorium on the deportation of undocumented migrants who arrived in the United States before November 1, 2020, thus fulfilling a campaign promise.

The ‘law’ says that if you are in the US without visas, you are illegally here, and a set of procedures start up. You have a casefile and reach a status where you will be held, then deported.

Only to add fuel this ‘fire’...probably a quarter of Democratic House members probably aren’t that enthusiastic about a complete open-door for 11-plus million migrants/illegals.
Degenercrats have no room to complain. They used nationwide judicial orders to block Trump it’s time we do this a thousand times more.
They’ll fight this.....and the Republicans will fight back.......they’ve been doing it for decades.
Of course, I wouldn’t be against loading them all in buses and taking them straight to DC.
