Presidential Candidate Joe Biden Holds A Town Hall At Lander University In South Carolina GREENWOOD, SC - NOVEMBER 21: Protestors against deportations interrupt Democratic presidential candidate, former vice President Joe Biden during a town hall on November 21, 2019 in Greenwood, South Carolina. Polls show Biden with a commanding lead in the early primary state.
A federal judge in Texas ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) not to enforce Biden's 100-day deportation moratorium through a restraining order. The administration would be violating an agreement with the DHS, Texas' lawsuit claims. Besides, the moratorium needs at least 180 days' notice and consultation before it can be implemented, changing immigration policy.
