U.S. District Court Judge Drew Tipton in the Southern District of Texas extended his suspension of the White House’s deportation moratorium for 14 days, which the judge says will give parties more time to "provide for a more fulsome record" to assist the court in "adjudicating Texas’s motion for a Preliminary Injunction."
The judge also cites "the irreparable harm that would accrue to Texas if an extension" was not granted.
The order did state, though, that the Biden administration "argued that the 100-day pause on removals is necessary to allow" them to take account "important immigration, foreign policy, and humanitarian considerations."
"The Court may ultimately be persuaded by the Defendants’ arguments, but any harm they might incur between now and then does not outweigh the potential for irreparable harm to Texas," Tipton wrote.
