What did the judge say?

Judge J. Campbell Barker of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a two-week administrative suspension on the plan for the regularization of undocumented individuals.

Meanwhile, the court will consider the complaint, which was led by the controversial Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

According to Biden, the judicial ruling is «wrong»:

«These families should not be unnecessarily separated. They should be able to stay together, and my Administration will not stop fighting for them,» Joe Biden concluded.
