Austin, Texas June 22, 2016
AUSTIN—Attorney General Ken Paxton released the following statement on today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Obama Administration’s executive amnesty:
“Today’s decision keeps in place what we have maintained from the very start: one person, even a president, cannot unilaterally change the law. 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.”
