HOUSTON, 24 February, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday, the federal judge banned President Joe Biden’s administration for good and all from enforcing a 100-day moratorium on most deportations as it violated the federal law.

Sought by Texas, the U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton issued a preliminary injunction that argued the moratorium violated federal law and risked imposing additional costs on the state.
Biden has proposed a sweeping immigration bill that would allow the legalization of an estimated 11 million people living in the US illegally. He has also instituted other guidelines on which immigration and border agents should target for enforcement.
Tipton, a Trump appointee, initially ruled on 26 January that the moratorium violated federal law on administrative procedure and that the US failed to show why a deportation pause was justified. A temporary restraining order the judge issued was set to expire Tuesday.
However, the legal fight over the deportation ban is an early sign of Republican opposition to Biden’s immigration priorities, just as Democrats and pro-immigrant legal groups fought Trump’s proposals.
