Supreme Court blocks Obama immigration plan | Fox News
The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Obama’s immigration executive actions, in a tie decision that delivers a win to states challenging his plan to give a deportation reprieve to millions of illegal immigrants.
The justices' one-sentence opinion on Thursday effectively kills the plan for the duration of Obama's presidency.
The 4-4 tie vote sets no national precedent but leaves in place the ruling by the lower court. In this case, the federal appeals court in New Orleans said the Obama administration lacked the authority to shield up to 4 million immigrants from deportation and make them eligible for work permits without approval from Congress.
The SCOTUS left in please a lower court ruling that stated Obama overstepped his authority again with his EO on immigration.
