Obama Loses Second Bid to Implement Overhaul of Immigration

Obama’s bid to make overhauling immigration policy a second-term victory was dealt a serious blow as federal judges ruled the effort must remain on hold while 26 states sue to overturn it.

Obama’s executive action, which would allow 5 million undocumented immigrants to remain in the country, must be delayed until the lawsuit is resolved, the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled. The case has drawn sometimes furious opposition from members of Congress, and more than a few presidential contenders.
