The Hill

The
Supreme Court could announce as early as Friday if it will be taking up
President Obama’s appeal to save his executive action on immigration,
according to a Reuters
report.
The
news service reported early Friday that the nine Supreme Court justices
were set to meet privately on whether to hear the White House appeal to
a pair of lower court
rulings that found invalid Obama’s move to shield 4 million immigrants
from deportation.
Declining
to hear the case would effectively kill the program, whereas taking it
up would immediately make it one of the most-watched cases of the
court’s current term.
Twenty-six
GOP-led states sued to stop Obama’s 2014 executive action, which
bypassed Congress to prevent the deportation of 4 million immigrations
with no criminal records
and children who are U.S. citizens.
A
Texas court and the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled that Obama had exceeded his authority with the move.
The court’s decision could come as soon as Friday afternoon.
