Twenty-six states states led by Texas were joined by the Obama administration and immigrant-rights groups in seeking to freeze a challenge to the outgoing president’s immigration reforms until President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Trump made opposing illegal immigration a cornerstone of his campaign and pledged to reverse President Barack Obama’s plan to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and provide them with work permits that could lead to federal benefits like Medicaid and Social Security.
