A federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked an executive order issued by President Joe Biden to halt the deportation of certain immigrants for 100 days.

U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, issued a temporary restraining order (pdf) on Jan. 26, blocking Biden’s policy nationwide for 14 days after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton challenged it in court.
