Judge blocks Biden-era immigration rule hours after Texas AG and Stephen Miller group sued DOJ
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge in Texas has blocked a Biden administration immigration rule that allowed judges to close deportation cases indefinitely. This ruling came just hours after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice. The rule, adopted in 2024, aimed to provide legal pathways for immigrants facing deportation. Paxton's lawsuit argued that the rule effectively granted indefinite amnesty to undocumented immigrants. U.S. Judge Reed O'Connor, known for his conservative rulings, sided with Texas after the DOJ agreed with Paxton's claims. Critics argue this swift decision undermines due process for affected immigrants.
