This could have been one of the biggest weeks for immigrant rights in modern history, opening up sweeping deportation relief and extending a temporary legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants nationwide.
Instead, they will have to continue waiting but it wont be quietly.
Rallies are scheduled across the country on Tuesday as advocacy groups protest what would have marked the unofficial kick-off date to President Obamas second and most sweeping executive action program on immigration. Known as DAPA, the executive measure would have benefited as many as 3.7 million undocumented immigrant adults who have children born in the U.S. or are legal permanent residents.
Implementation plans, however, hit a snag after a federal judge in Texas placed a preliminary injunction on the executive measures, temporarily freezing the application process while a lawsuit brought by Texas and 25 other states plays out through the courts.

But, I fight and I will never stop til they kick the dirt in my face
