Sessions Applauds the Fifth Circuit Court's Ruling to Protect Our Nation's Rule of Law and Block Executive Amnesty

Press Release

U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX-32), Chairman of the House Rules Committee and a Member of House Republican Leadership, today released the following statement applauding the Fifth Circuit Court's ruling to stop President Obama's executive amnesty plan:

"Today the Fifth Circuit upheld its constitutional role in protecting our nation's rule of law by denying a motion by the Obama Administration to overturn an injunction by Judge Andrew Hanen that blocked the President's amnesty plan. This ruling means that the President cannot enforce his DAPA policy, and no funds can be used to further this part of his executive amnesty agenda.

"I have joined my Republican colleagues in vigorously fighting against the President's blatant abuse of executive authority, and I am pleased that the decision of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals bolstered our efforts to block the President's lawless amnesty plan. I will continue to fight the President's unwise, unlawful, and unconstitutional executive amnesty plan and to uphold our Constitution and the rule of law."
