Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday celebrated the stay on President Joe Biden’s freeze of most deportations while encouraging other attorneys general to review Biden’s orders.
Paxton, a Republican, sued Biden over the deportation freeze. A federal judge on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order, preventing the administration from implementing the mandate.
“It sends a signal that these courts, these judges are open to hearing about the law and what’s actually going on,” Paxton said on “Fox News Primetime.”
“And so I would encourage my fellow attorneys general across the country to look at what’s going on, and whether these are executive orders or just edicts, no one’s above the law, including the president,” he added.
Paxton said he hoped that “a lot of attorneys general across this country will say, ‘No, we cannot allow this to happen in our state.’”
Biden set a new record for the number of executive orders during a president’s first days in office, issuing 28.
Executive orders are typically a tool to go around Congress. Most presidents use the tool sparingly, and only after trying to get bills passed by Congress first.
A coalition of attorneys general sent a letter to the president on Wednesday telling him that any potentially unconstitutional executive actions or federal overreach will not go unchallenged.
“If you sign unconstitutional laws passed by Congress, it will be our responsibility and duty to challenge those laws in court,” the coalition, led by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, wrote.
The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment. Neither Biden nor administration officials have appeared to comment on the temporary restraining order against stopping most deportations.

Elections DO matter … and rigged elections can result in catastrophe ….as the Biden trend is in full bloom. If the Biden/Trump POTUS election hasn’t wakened the degradation awareness of the political, social, educational, border security systems, and the value of the dollar ….. we are in for a few years of utter chaos.
A temporary restraining order. We need a permanent restraining order. This fraudulent president is frightening.
Biden is not doing this himself! He is doing what the big wheels in the Dem party tell him what to do.
That’s correct what PopPopB said. :(
What’s the old saying? “Too many spoons spoil the broth!” …. that’s the Democrat Biden status of running the Nations Governance (Rule, in their methodology). DeUNaware system of politics.
Why would ANYONE expect anything other than lawless, unconstitutional behavior and edicts from an administration that lied about policy before the election and then blatantly cheated and stole the election? This a not a legitimate administration and we should never be fooled that it is.
Great point in article “Executive Orders typically a tool to go around Congress”. That says it all & the last three Presidents are abusing this powerful tool. Biden is signing way too many & too fast.
“Dictators rule by executive order.” — Joe Biden during his 2020 campaign. By signing 37 executive actions, including a record-breaking 24 executive orders, in just his first week as president Joe Biden has admitted to being a dictator.
Agreed. By his own words, he calls himself out. The wrong President is being charged with articles of impeachment.
But it doesn’t count if he can’t remember saying it, right?
This is the last step in the Marxist communist Revolutionary takeover.
We warned as many citizens as we could that this will happen should they get power.
Not one of us believed that they would steep as low and as crooked as they did. Interesting predictions that are coming true in the most evil way they can.
Liars, thieves, destroyers of all they can, and when we witnessed them take full control over our first amendment rights, we knew what was going to happen.
So, we’re praying for God’s help. We have been praying for God’s help. Our prayers increased and reached the windows of heaven and our God will help us in His time. Trust Him, He alone is faithful and just in all ways. He is the righteous King of kings. Until He responds to this evil in His ways and His time, keep praying for God’s Help and Revival in His Church.
Give God no rest. Let’s pray without ceasing.
Please help us Lord we pray, in Jesus name.
I am SO pleased every time I see someone standing for God and what’s right for our country. He IS the King of Kings and NOTHING happens without his ok. All he asks from us is to be faithful servants and pray, ask Him for his unwavering help that He ALONE can accomplish but like you mentioned, we MUST, and I can’t emphasize MUST pray and stay faithful to our Lord and Savior! He loves us and without Him this country wouldn’t have even come to be, at least NOT “One Nation Under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice FOR ALL”! God is the Judge and I have no doubt in my mind that whoever tries to thwart His plans will pay the price, which unfortunately they can not see nor want to see because of their selfish evil ways! But GOD IS THE CONQUEROR, HE IS THE WINNER, NO MATTER what happens! Thank you for letting me put my voice out there!! God bless America, President Trump and his family, and ALL who stand in the name of JESUS! May we remain faithful even when it seems like He is doing nothing, because the Bible tells us God NEVER sleeps or slumbers, He is always at work behind the scenes if we only persevere and TRUST him to do the supernatural that ONLY HE CAN DO!
The last step will be (attempted) gun confiscation.
AMEN! to the rest Doc.
They don’t have to confiscate your guns, just make it more difficult to buy ammunition. It’s happening in NYS right now.
This is the most disgusting and radical agenda I have seen in my lifetime. Biden is dangerous because he has no original thought or power on his own. He just responds to the strings that control his every move. We should be very afraid, I know I am. I didn’t vote for him, never even thought of voting for him or any Democrat, socialism is not in my vocabulary.
May God Bless us all.
Biden is dangerous, but remember Obama is right behind him. Obama is telling
Biden everything he should do.
We are witnessing Obama’s 3rd term, do you remember his people talking about that? Look who is in Biden’s cabinet, many of Obama’s cronies from his last rein. He is putting back his legacy, destroying Trumps. The scary part is Obama’s restructuring of the FBI, weakening our defense. He is also sending billions to our enemies, his Muslim friends, as well as Russia. Everything Obama did during his terms as president we will see again. He will regurgitate his dictatorship. Once again we will be dependent on foreign oil.
God Help USA !
Welcome to the USSA!
Funny and creative. USSA
Help me, here.
I was under the assumption that there is three (3) Branches of Government? How can one (1) get away with such blatant use of Power???
Maybe because one is a Dictator..
Good point, I would like to know answer to this also. EO are just a way to try to bypass Congress & not let the elected officials do their duty. Definitely not UNITY>>>>>
Because our mushy Republican Party is letting him.
Yes, look how checks and balances are going. Do you notice any cases or convictions in the Democratic party for breaking the law? Judicial branch would not even look into the blatant mishandling of ballots. Joe Biden’s conflicts of interest dealing with Chinese, Russia, checks and balances there???
Love the pushback!
All Biden is doing is executive orders, bypassing Congress. Checks and balances there??
A judge with a spine and a judge who follows the law????????????????????????
I know, almost scary, isn’t it?
It is sickening and heart-breaking to see what the Communist Dems in DC are doing to our country. Good to hear that at least there are some Conservative judges left in states who will abide by our Constitution. This regime under the Communists is vengeful, hateful and they do not care about anyone or anything but power and money. Who would have ever thought we would have a president who has taken money from a Communist nation that we have fought against so hard just a few years ago. All I can say is God please help us stop this madness!!
I think one of the most important orders to be overturned is stepping on responsible gun owners by making them pay a tax and register guns with federal gun registry or give them up to be destroyed or pay consequences of prison and $10,000 fine. I think I recollect another dictator pushing this type of law on it’s citizens. Citizens lost in the end. Thank you AG, Ken Paxton, for fighting for our country!
Biden is rumored to want to tax citizens on how many miles they drive their car. Will non-citizens pay this tax also?
Helen C, is this another E.O. that Biden did recently? This is going too far.
Helen, why would non-citizens pay for the miles they drive. Having spent a number of years on the California Highway Patrol, I can say with some veracity, the majority don’t have driver’s licenses or insurance.
The Rupublicans in the Senate should file a lawsuit against Biden as he is a dictator and not including them in the review process
Govt doesn’t work that way. Read the Constitution to understand what the options are.
There is only a small, very small amount of Republicans in the Senate that can take the lead. The majority of Republicans in the Senate want only one thing – self preservation, Not all of the Trump haters were vocal.
I’d say Republican Reps and/or Senators should start impeachment proceedings against Biden. But, as I’m sure was the Commucrats intention in making Harris Biden’s running mate, if Biden is impeached, even by the Commucrats, [which may happen as well],God forbid. Harris becomes President!
Under the constitution, Harris can not be the President. She was not born an American citizen, and therefore, that puts pelosi in the catbird seat
I say, good, impeach Biden, then impeach pelosi, and go right down the list until they are all gone. We will have a new President every week till we get one that will actually work FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Perhaps she may have became an American citizen later in life. We know that Obama also wasn’t an American citizen either. The Constitution doesn’t means anything to them.
Boy Sheila, you got that right!!!!
I would suggest that those of you in power that can get results to get on Joebama’s back and stay there. Scrutinize everything he does, every turn he makes be there as a thorn in his side
YES.yes.
We are the power. We just need a united direction.
DO NOT LET, BIDEN BREAK THE LAW, SAY NO TO OPEN BORDERS.
Do more ahead to Dems make= & fair,Hoorah Yes
Awesome shake down time
Sleepy Joe was awake long enough to get his marching orders from his handlers. I fear for our country and what this nut job has in store. He has already eliminated thousands of jobs of workers on the Keystone pipeline. Thank God we have some Republicans who have the stones to go to court to stop Biden on the immigration issue.
Biden is doing what Trump was accused of doing! Talk about a double standard!!!
It’s called hypocrisy and projection. The Democrats have always accused Republicans of doing exactly what Democrats themselves do and then projecting their faults onto the opposition party. That is never going to change.
It’s the #1 Rule in the Commucrat Rulebook! Accuse Republicans of every wrong they are doing or have done in the past. A good example is, they always accuse Republicans of racists, associating with the KKK. And [sadly] too many blacks blindly believe it, and follow the Commucrats like cattle, instead of learninghistory. The facts are, the KKK is an organization created by the Commucrats. Even one of Hilary’s idols was the late Senator Robert Byrd who wore the title “Exalted Cyclops” in the KKK!
Trump was accused, biden is literally doing. I’m not sure of this number, but the projected number of lost jobs due to sleepy joe’s mandates. Having never been passed by congress, THEY ARE NOT LAWS. The projected # of lost jobs will be in the neighborhood of 1,000,000. And that is what the figures say for his first quarter in office. S C A R Y and totally unacceptable.
Obama signed EO’s more than any other POTUS, Trump was second to signing them in first four years, and now you have Biden totally ignoring the Legislative Branch powers. He is signed so many, how can he know/read what he is signing??? The last three Presidents are using this as their personal weapon of power.
Please President Biden think very carefully for what you are doing so far appears most detrimental to our country. Talk to the average person and most are very alarmed with your actions thus far. I pray for you that you will seek guidance from above and place all of us first in all you do for a great America.
