Granting a nationwide injunction requested by Texas officials, a federal judge has blocked the Biden administration's plans to pause deportations for 100 days under a comprehensive review of immigration enforcement. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton of Corpus Christi, appointed by former President Donald Trump last summer, had issued a temporary order halting enforcement of the deportation freeze on Jan. 26. Late Tuesday, shortly before that temporary order was set to expire, Tipton ruled that the pause exceeded the president's authority because it improperly suspended or altered a federal law requiring deportation within certain deadlines. Tipton also said the order violated federal law because it was arbitrary and capricious, showing none of the legally required analysis on the reasons for the pause or its impact on states like Texas.
