Immigration lobby sues to resume Obama’s amnesty in challenge to judge’s authority
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Updated: 9:39 p.m. on Wednesday, October 12, 2016
High-powered immigrant advocacy organizations filed a lawsuit Wednesday to try to kick-start President Obama’s deportation amnesty, arguing that the Texas judge who halted the program two years ago can’t bind the rest of the country to his decision.
The groups filed a challenge in Illinois, building on a similar lawsuit filed over the summer in New York. If either one is successful, it could ignite a stampede of copycats, creating a patchwork across the country where Homeland Security would have to issue work permits and stays of deportation to some illegal immigrants, but would be barred from approving applications from someone just over the line in another court’s jurisdiction.
