Time "The Obama Administration said it is weighing its options in the wake of an appeals court ruling that kept a block on the president’s executive action on immigration.
"On Tuesday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to lift an injunction of the president’s action to grant millions of undocumented immigrants temporary reprieve from deportation.
Texas and twenty-five other states are suing the Obama administration over the president’s immigration plan, and a federal judge in Texas blocked the action temporarily in February." . . .
Fifth Circuit Upholds Injunction Against Obama’s Executive Amnesty
. . . "A three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit today issued a split decision upholding the Texas judge’s injunction preventing Obama’s executive amnesty program from moving forward. The opinion itself upheld the injunction on fairly arcane (to non-lawyers) legal and procedural grounds; i.e., it did not decide or offer an opinion as to whether the Obama Administrations program was likely unlawful or not. Rather, it invalidated the program because the Administration failed to pass the program through the (mostly pro forma) “notice and comment” rulemaking process as governed by the Administrative Procedures Act – which essentially requires Federal agencies to post proposed new rules in the Federal Register, solicit comment from the public, and ultimately submit a regulatory impact statement and explanation of their decisionmaking procss with the final rule. Once an administrative rule has jumped through these hoops, it is very difficult to get it overturned." . . .
