Attorney General Ken Paxton released the following statement after the U.S. District Court for Southern District of Texas issued an order sanctioning the Department of Justice lawyers who defended President Obama’s unlawful immigration policy.

“Throughout this case, the administration has struggled to provide accurate, reliable information regarding the scope of the President’s plan or even when it would be implemented. From the start, our lawsuit has been about asserting that one person cannot unilaterally change the law, and part of that is ensuring everyone abides by the rule of law.”
