Court Ruling that Obama Exceeded Authority Provides Clarity for Congress to Act Now, Says FAIR
“FAIR applauds the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision maintaining the injunction on President Obama’s executive amnesty programs. FAIR, along with our legal affiliate the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), is among many organizations and elected officials that filed amicus briefs in support of the 26 states suing to prevent the president’s expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Deferred Action for Parents of American (DAPA) programs from imposing new burdens and costs on their states,” said FAIR President Dan Stein in a press release issued this week in response to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals decision on Tuesday.
