A total of 17 states, most led by Republicans, sued the Obama administration on Wednesday, accusing it of acting illegally when it issued an executive order to ease deportation policies. The suit is being led by Texas, and includes Alabama, Idaho, Mississippi, Utah, and North Carolina, among others. “The president is abdicating his responsibility to faithfully enforce laws that were duly enacted by Congress and attempting to rewrite immigration laws, which he has no authority to do,” declared Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the Republican Texas governor-elect.
