A federal appeals court has rejected the Justice Department's attempt to speed up review of a judge's recent decision to hit pause on President Obama's executive actions on immigration and put one of his top second-term priorities in temporary limbo.
On Friday morning, a deputy clerk of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals advised Texas and 25 other states challenging the administration that they have until March 23, to respond to the government's request. The government had hoped the Court would make a ruling by then.
The Obama administration is already appealing a three-week-old Texas district court ruling blocking the immigration actions. But Justice officials don't want to wait for the appeal to be resolved before being able to put the new policy into effect.

Hanen blocked the programs. Since the ruling, millions of undocumented immigrants have been left in legal limbo, unable to apply for two programs that were aimed at easing deportation threats.
Hanen's ruling was narrow, holding that the administration had likely failed to comply with procedures governing how federal agencies can establish regulations.Read the rest of the story HERE.
