In an expected response to U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s refusal to grant a stay of his February 16 injunction that blocked the Obama administration’s use of executive actions to grant amnesty to four million illegal aliens, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an appeal on March 12 with the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
The appeal filed by DOJ attorneys “seeks an immediate stay pending appeal of a nationwide preliminary injunction against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).”
The injunction, issued by Hanen in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville, blocked the Obama administration and several of its departments and agencies (including DHS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE], and the Border Patrol) from implementing the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program “as set out in the Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson’s memorandum dated November 20, 2014."
