In February, the Obama administration violated a court order by issuing approximately 2,000 three-year amnesties – those amnesties have yet to be fully rescinded.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services states that it’s trying to round up all of the permits, but surprise surprise…they are having trouble rounding them up.

They can’t handle 2000 illegals, and we are supposed to believe they can handle millions?

Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who issued the injunction, isn’t happy at all and has issued a very stern response and promise to take action against the administration for their defiance. Obama has less than a month to comply.

“I expect you to resolve the 2,000; I’m shocked that you haven’t,” Judge Hanen told the Justice Department at a hearing last week, according to the San Antonio Express-News. “If they’re not resolved by July 31, I’m going to have to figure out what action to take.”

Homeland Security says it’s changed the duration of the work permits from three years to two years in its computer systems, but getting the cards returned from the illegal immigrants themselves is tougher.

The office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading the lawsuit challenging the amnesty and who won the February injunction against the policy, didn’t respond to a request for comment on the outstanding permits.

Josh Blackman, an assistant professor at the South Texas College of Law, who has filed briefs in the case opposing the Obama administration’s claims, said he believes the administration is trying to comply in good faith with Judge Hanen’s order, but USCIS’s difficulties show how difficult managing the full amnesty would be.

“The entire nature of this case was that agents were given a free rein to approve as many applications as possible. DHS can’t keep track of its own agents and who’s being approved for deferrals and work authorization,” he said.
