[The Hill] The Champ regime will seek an emergency court order to move forward with President Chanp's executive action on immigration.Officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) plan to seek what is known as an emergency stay that would essentially undo a Texas-based federal judge's injunction from earlier this week. If the stay is granted, the government could restart a pair of executive programs that will shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said DOJ will file for the stay by "Monday at the latest."
The emergency stay had been sought by immigrant rights advocates, who want to get the programs up and running as soon as possible while the appeals process plays out.
| Ok, so a Federal Judge's ruling only applies if it benefits the regime. Alright, I think I understand. |
| No, this is just SOP for any appeal. You ask for a stay of the ruling in question. Very likely the judge will deny that, and then the appeals court will deny, because leaving the ruling in place during the appeal preserves the status quo. Staying the ruling would allow the immigration programs to go ahead rendering the original ruling moot. I don't think that will happen because courts are reluctant to create that situation. |
