A Texas judge’s order forced the Obama administration to delay expanding a program for child immigrants and emboldened lawmakers fighting the president’s bid to shield 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.
President Barack Obama vowed to appeal the order by U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen in Brownsville, Texas, and said in the meantime the U.S. won’t be taking some new applications for deferred deportation from immigrants brought to the country as children. He said the White House would prevail in court.
