Federal Court Freezes 100-Day Deportation Pause
On January 26, 2021, a federal judge in Texas, following a challenge by the Texas State Attorney General’s Office, issued a 14-day nationwide temporary restraining order blocking the enforcement of President Biden’s 100-day pause on most deportations as part of his many executive actions regarding immigration.
U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton stated in his ruling that the Biden administration “had failed to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations,” and ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to “maintain[] the status quo as it existed” prior to the issuance of the 100-day pause memorandum.
