An immigration watchdog is praising a federal judge for blocking President Joe Biden’s executive order that halted deportations of illegal immigrants for 100 days.
Texas-based federal judge Drew Tipton, a Donald Trump appointee, granted a temporary restraining order sought by Ken Paxton, the attorney general for The Lonestar State, who had sued to challenge the order.
The judge’s order puts a two-week halt to Biden s order while the judge considers the motion by the state for a preliminary injunction.
Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, tells One News Now there is some poetic justice in Tipton s ruling after his group witnessed a flood lawsuits filed against the Trump administration for the President s clamp down on illegal immigration.
