WH weighs emergency request to block judge's immigration ruling

Quote:

The White House is weighing its legal response to a federal judge's decision to block President Obama's unilateral moves on immigration, including the option of asking a separate court to nullify the ruling, a top official said Tuesday. Administration officials, who have vowed to appeal the decision, may ask an appellate court to issue an emergency order undoing Monday's decision by U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen to halt Obama's executive actions, said Cecilia Muñoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. If the court granted such an emergency stay it would allow the new immigration programs to proceed while the courts weigh a final verdict on the state lawsuits filed against them.
