Monday, a Federal Judge in the Southern District of Texas enjoined in full President Obama's unilateral November 2014 immigration action. Texas led a 26-state coalition fighting the President's attempt to unilat- erally grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released the follow- ing statement:
"This decision is a victory for the rule of law in America and a crucial first step in reining in President Obama's lawlessness. The President's action, both uni- lateral and unconstitutional,was an affront to everyone pursuing a life of freedom and opportunity in America the right way. This injunc- tion makes it clear that the President is not a law unto himself,andmustworkwith our elected leaders in Congress and satisfy the courts in a fashion our Founding Fathers envi- sioned.”
Joining Texas in the lawsuit are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
