The Justice Department said Tuesday that it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review a court ruling blocking the Obama administration’s plans to defer deportations for more than four million undocumented immigrants, a day after the injunction was upheld by an appeals court.
The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday upheld a ruling by a Texas federal judge that has blocked President Barack Obama’s 2014 immigration initiative, pending a full trial on the matter, after leaders from 26 states challenged its legality.
