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.

Um...there aren’t “rules” anymore. Its whatever you can get away with now. Obama said so.
“They are stuck with the Appellate Circuit Court for the Texas Court this ruling came from. That’s the fairly conservative 5th Circuit. They can’t move the Jurisdiction.
That’s good to know, but I bet that Holder and company will try to find some way to get the case to a more liberal friendly venue.
“One can bet Obama will send Bruno to talk the judge...”
Is this the same Bruno he sent to help harry reid with his exercise equipment?
Whether he gets the emergency order or not is unimportant. Mainly he wants to show his supporters that he’s really really fighting for them. Might do him good. His approval is around 50 percent. His supporters love what’s offensive to us.
I think they must go to the 5th circuit
