Immigration, SCOTUS

Solicitor General Asks SCOTUS To Rescue Obama's Immigration Plan

A divided court of appeals has upheld an unprecedented nationwide injunction against implementing a federal immigration enforcement policy of great national importance, and has done so in violation of established limits on the judicial power. If left undisturbed, that ruling will allow states to frustrate the federal government’s enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws.

— Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, Jr., requesting in a writ of certiorari that the Supreme Court take up and reverse the Fifth Circuit’s “unprecedented and momentous” decision to enjoin the Obama administration from implementing the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, a plan that would allow millions of undocumented immigrants to live and work legally in the United States.
