Injunction on Amnesty

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

At 10:22 pm Monday night, the United States District Court for the Southern Division of Texas issued a temporary injunction enjoining the Department of Homeland Security from implementing “any and all aspects of or phases of the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans or Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program” that President Obama announced on November 20, 2014. Here is what you need to know:

What did the court do? U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen entered an Order of Temporary Injunction enjoining DHS from implementing any aspect of Obama’s “DAPA Memorandum” which includes an expansion of Obama’s June 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. This means that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services office may not begin accepting new DACA applications as it was scheduled to do this week, and if the order holds, may not begin accepting DAPA applications as it was scheduled to this May. As a result, an estimated four million illegal immigrants will not be given work permits, drivers licenses, or Social Security numbers as Obama originally envisioned.Read_More_button
