This week we scored a major victory for the rule of law when a federal judge upheld a lower court’s order to stop implementation of President Obama’s executive amnesty. This is the latest development in a court case filed by 26 states to halt President Obama’s actions which would prevent illegal immigrants from being deported.

Even if a court decision stops the federal government from moving forward on President Obama's latest executive action on immigration, the city of Los Angeles will keep doing everything it can to help undocumented residents gain legal status.
"We're going to move forward. We can't afford not to," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Tuesday at a National Journal event in Washington, D.C. underwritten by the Emerson Collective.

(BROWNSVILLE, Texas) -- A federal judge near the Texas/Mexico border begins hearing arguments Friday in a lawsuit filed against the Obama administration by nearly two dozen states.
After failing to come up with a plan that Congress would approve, President Obama took executive action to allow more than four million undocumented immigrants to stay in the country on three-year work permits.
Eighteen states, led by Texas, filed a lawsuit today with the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Texas challenging President Obama's executive action on immigration. The suit claims that the White House overstepped its authority by granting amnesty and work permits for 5 million illegal aliens.
