Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated:

Ignoring Congress in rewriting immigration law, contradicting the President’s own statements that the Executive lacked the power to do so, and misleading a federal court – not once, but multiple times – the Obama Administration has established a pattern of renegade behavior making it clear it sees itself entirely above the rule of law. We will continue to fight back against this lawless behavior to prevent the implementation of this amnesty plan, which sets a dangerous precedent and would have disastrous consequences for Texas and every other state in America.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Attorney General Paxton. Thank you Governor Abbott. Thank you Texas. Thank you 26 States. Thank you Judge Hanen.
