Federal Judge: Obama’s Immigration Actions Unconstitutional (724 hits)
On December 16, a Federal Judge found President Obama’s executive actions regarding immigration policy to be unconstitutional, arguing that the President must faithfully uphold the laws passed by Congress. This decision came during a hearing regarding an immigrant who had re-entered the country illegally and could have benefited from the new policies. However, according to a Justice Department spokesperson, “The decision is unfounded and the court had no basis to issue such an order.” Other lawsuits directly challenging the President’s executive actions are still pending before the federal courts.
