Obama Administration to Seek Stay of Preliminary Injunction in Texas v. United States

USA Today reports that, in an apparent change of heart, the Obama administration will seek to lift the injunction of a federal judge who entered a preliminary injunction putting on hold the administration’s expanded deferred action program.  “Justice Department lawyers will file papers no later than Monday to stay the order that blocked plans to defer deportations for up to 5 million migrants who are in the country illegally, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. The decision to seek a stay is in addition to a general appeal of the order that is the latest development in legal battle that may go all the way to the Supreme Court.”
