The state’s top attorney is reviewing whether a ruling against the Obama administration on “dreamers” last week will help him win one, if not both lawsuits he is fighting.
In a split ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an injunction issued by a federal appeals court in Texas to the president deciding to allow the undocumented parents of U.S. citizens remain in the country if they meet certain other conditions. While not rendering an actual ruling, the action affirms the conclusion by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that the president lacks such authority.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said he considers all that binding on Arizona even though it is governed by a separate federal appellate court. He said Arizona was one of 25 states that joined with Texas in challenging the policy.
