South Dakota AG Reacts To Ruling To Block Immigration Order

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says it’s time for a “meaningful discussion” about immigration reform in Washington following a federal court ruling that blocks an executive order on immigration.

A federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked executive orders Tuesday that would have shielded from deportation as many as 5 million people who entered the U.S. illegally.

South Dakota is one of 26 states that have challenged the Obama administration’s orders as unconstitutional.

The coalition of states led argues that President Barack Obama has violated the “Take Care Clause” of the U.S. Constitution, which they say limits the scope of presidential power.

The federal government is expected to appeal the ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Jackley says joining the suit didn’t cost anything to South Dakota.
