WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday announced that it had
deadlocked in a case challenging President Obama’s plan to shield millions
of immigrants from deportation and allow them to work. The 4-4 tie left in
place an appeals court ruling blocking the plan, dealing a sharp blow to an
ambitious program that Mr. Obama had hoped would become one of his
central legacies. Instead, even as the court deadlocked, it amplified the
already contentious election-year debate over the nation’s immigration
policy and presidential power.
The case, United States v. Texas, No. 15-674, concerned a plan to allow
as many as five million unauthorized immigrants who are the parents of
citizens or of lawful permanent residents to apply for a program that
would spare them from deportation and provide them with work permits.
The program was called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and
Lawful Permanent Residents, or DAPA.
Mr. Obama has said he took action in 2014 after years of frustration
with Republicans in Congress who had repeatedly refused to support
bipartisan Senate legislation to update immigration laws. A coalition of
26 states, led by Texas, promptly challenged the plan, accusing the
president of ignoring administrative procedures for changing rules and
of abusing the power of his office by circumventing Congress.
“Today’s decision keeps in place what we have maintained from the very
start: one person, even a president, cannot unilaterally change the law,”
Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general, said in a statement after the
ruling. “This is a major setback to President Obama’s attempts to expand
executive power, and a victory for those who believe in the separation of
powers and the rule of law.”
