The Biden administration, under the direction of the person in charge of loading Biden's TelePrompter with words, tried to impose a 100-day pause on deportations of illegal immigrants. Unfortunately for Biden, a district judge extended a ban on its imposition that was triggered by a lawsuit from Texas in which the state's Attorney General Ken Paxton had argued that it violated federal law and an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that Texas be consulted before such a move.
Tipton had previously issued a two-week restraining order.
If it was left up to the Biden administration, there would be no such thing as an illegal alien/immigrant. They would be called "undocumented trailblazers." There would be no walls to stop them, no papers to identify them, and the only reason to keep them out would be to discover they would vote Republican. Even the idea they may be carrying the coronavirus doesn't appear to worry the left.
Biden had campaigned on the 100-day pause as part of a sweeping immigration agenda that includes a halt on border wall construction, an end to the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants who would likely tend to vote Democrat.
The broad "pause" would have had a few exceptions: terrorists and people engaged in espionage or pose a danger to national security. It would also exclude those who were not present in the U.S. before Nov. 1, 2020, those who agreed to waive the right to remain, and those whom the ICE director individually determined need to be removed by law.

But Texas asserts that the directive violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law. It also goes against a contractual agreement between Texas and DHS which was signed in the final days of the Trump administration that the state would be consulted before reducing immigration enforcement or pausing deportations.
The agreement means that DHS must provide Texas with 180 days' notice of any proposed change on any matter that would reduce enforcement or increase the number of "removable or inadmissible aliens" in the U.S. Paxton claims that agreement has been violated.
"Our state defends the largest section of the southern border in the nation. Failure to properly enforce the law will directly and immediately endanger our citizens and law enforcement personnel," Paxton said in a statement last month.
The Biden administration has since issued temporary guidance {3 months) to ICE agents, informing them that they will need pre-approval from managers to arrest some illegal immigrants if they do not fall into the categories similar to those that were also exempted from the deportation freeze.

The guidance is in place until DHS can issue further guidance and it doesn't explicitly prevent anyone from being arrested or deported, but directs resources at certain targets.
