A federal judge in Texas has put a temporary hold on President’s Obama’s executive actions aimed at protecting millions of illegal immigrants from being deported.
The injunction, which U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen issued on Feb. 16, came just two days before a new program that the president's directives established was to go into effect.
The. Justice Dept. says that the president was on solid legal ground in issuing the directives on Nov. 20 and adds that it will appeal the injunction.
