The first lawsuit in the country brought against a Biden Administration executive order has been won by Texas.
Attorney General Ken Paxton sued in Federal court to halt the deportation of immigrants here illegally for a hundred days.
The Biden Administration had argued that they needed the time to re-evaluate policies and procedures relating to immigration. They argued in court that one presidential administration could not bind future administrations with agreements made with the states.
But Paxton had argued, in a letter sent to the Homeland Security Department, that agreements made between the Department of Homeland Security and the state of Texas required consultations that were not done in this case.

Texas U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton temporarily blocked an executive order Tuesday, issuing a restraining order that blocks the Biden policy nationwide for 14 days, reported the Epoch Times.
Paxton hailed the victory, saying on Twitter,
“Texas is the FIRST state in the nation to bring a lawsuit against the Biden Admin. AND WE WON.”
“Within 6 days of Biden’s inauguration, Texas has HALTED his illegal deportation freeze. *This* was a seditious left-wing insurrection, And my team and I stopped it."
David Pekoske, acting Homeland Security secretary, issued a memorandum Jan. 20 directing authorities to focus on national security and public safety threats, but halting most deportations of illegal aliens for 100 days.
