The face off between the White House and Texas continues, as a federal judge in the Lone Star State refused to life a block on the Obama administration’s immigration plans for at least 10 more days.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, which sits on the border with Mexico, doesn’t plan on staying out of the way of Obama’s plans to shield illegal immigrants from deportation, issuing a preliminary injunction against the order last month, according to a Reuters report.

In a one-page order from the court on Monday, Hanen ruled that until a court hearing is held on March 19, no rulings would be made on pending motions. Government attorneys will be required to explain a filing that indicates 100,000 people have received three-year periods of deferred action prior to the injunction by the judge, according to the report.

Hanen has been vocal about U.S. immigration enforcement in the past, which has called lax, and said that the action would harm Texas. He made the initial ruling on Feb. 17, arguing that the Obama administration had not provided the public with any notice of his plans, a violation of proper procedure.

A total of 26 states have fought Obama on this issue, arguing that he has no right to issue executive orders that would protect 4.7 million illegal immigrants from deportation.

The Justice Department has fought back against the judge’s ruling, asking for an emergency stay on Hanen’s decision a week after it was made, or at least that it be limited to Texas. The Justice Department plans to appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals if there was no action from Hanen soon.
