Appeals Court Maintains Hold on Obama Deportation Reprieve 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
A federal appeals court has refused to restore President Obama's
executive actions protecting millions of undocumented immigrants from
deportation. A right-wing judge blocked Obama's deportation reprieve
earlier this year after a motion filed by Texas and 25 other states. The
federal government had asked for the injunction to be lifted while the
original ruling is appealed, but a divided two-to-one panel of the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals rejected that bid.
