U.S. Justice Department asks for stay to allow immigration action

Posted: 23 Feb 2015 09:35 AM PST

The U.S. Justice Department on Monday formally requested an emergency stay to put on hold a Texas judge's decision that temporarily blocked President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration from taking effect. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen had issued a court order to halt the immigration actions, which would grant temporary relief from deportation for 4.7 million people who are in the United States illegally. The Justice Department said Hanen lacked authority to issue that preliminary injunction. Officials also filed on Monday to appeal his decision, and they asked that the immigration actions be allowed to move forward while the appeals process plays out.

Supreme Court weighs case involving Afghan man barred from U.S.

By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court appeared divided on Monday as it considered whether U.S. citizens have the right to object if the government denies their spouse a visa in a case involving a California woman whose Afghan husband was barred from the United States. Some of the nine justices appeared sympathetic to Fauzia Din, a naturalized American citizen from Afghanistan, but the court appears more likely to rule for the government, which says there is no right to appeal when a visa is denied. Din, who lives in Fremont, California, sued the U.S. government after her husband, Afghan citizen Kanishka Berashk, was denied a visa in 2009. Din's lawyers believe the denial was related to the fact that Berashk had worked as a payroll clerk for the Afghanistan government when it was controlled by the Taliban, an Islamist militant organization.

Potential Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham has "no doubt" that President Obama loves his country, refuting comments made by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani earlier this week.
