Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley made the following statement regarding the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision to uphold an injunction that temporarily stops the Obama administration’s implementation of its deferred action plan.
“Thanks to the Fifth Circuit, the injunction on the President’s unlawful maneuvering to implement his own policies, without regard for Congress, the law, or American workers remains in place. The Obama administration does not have unfettered authority to execute whatever it wants. The President simply can’t singly rewrite the country’s immigration laws. This is a win for the checks and balances established by the Constitution.”
