Z******a 发帖数: 1178 | 1 While President Obama has made it clear his administration will appeal
District Court Judge Andrew Hanen’s ruling blocking his executive action on
immigration, the president’s immigration plan will likely be on hold for
months or longer.
Though no final decision has been made, Obama administration sources told
ABC News today that the Department of Justice is unlikely to seek an
emergency stay to block the judge’s order. The reason is simple: While DOJ
thinks it will ultimately prevail on the overall appeal, department
officials believe they would not succeed in seeking an emergency stay of
Judge Hanen’s ruling.
The judge’s ruling is likely to remain in place while the case is appealed
before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and, quite possibly, to the Supreme
Court. That process is likely to take six months -- or longer. That means
the 5 million undocumented immigrants who would have benefited from the
president's executive action will have to wait. |
