A federal judge declined to issue a decision after the White House filed an emergency stay to move forward with the president’s executive action on immigration, which were blocked through an injunction by the same judge last week.
The coalition of 26 states that sued to stop the implementation of the president’s executive action will now have until next week to respond to the emergency stay.
The president’s actions are intended to offer a relief to approximately 5 million undocumented immigrants. The first one, would expand the deferred action program for undocumented youth (DACA) implemented in 2012 by allowing an additional number of "dreamers" to apply for a protection from deportation and a work permit. The second one, known as DAPA, would allow parents of American citizens or residents to apply for the same protections.
Meanwhile, the president is considering a partial implementation of his executive action on immigration in states that are not part of the lawsuit.
