The Orange County government asked a judge on June 9 to extend a stay on the relocation of illegal immigrants that was arranged by New York City, according to a court filing.

If granted, the request—formally called a preliminary injunction—will make the ban effective for the duration of the county’s lawsuit against the city, according to county attorney Richard Golden.
