NEW: Federal judge Tipton just ended the hearing over Texas' lawsuit seeking to block the Biden administration from pausing deportations for 100 days --- he issued no ruling right away BUT it seems possible he blocks the deportation pause as the case moves forward.

The DOJ attorney, Adam Kirschner, basically said the agreement Texas had signed with Trump's DHS was useless.

Kirschner said that DOJ had serious concerns about the agreement Texas signed with Trump's DHS in January.

He said that Texas was basically asking to "run federal immigration law" and that they were saying that DHS "signed over the statutory rights provided to it by Congress to the state of Texas for 180 days."

I wonder what legal experts think here but Tipton asked Kirschner if he had the ability to pause the Biden deportation moratorium as the two sides argued over a longer block on the policy. Kirschner indicated he could not.

Tipton then went on to say that any ruling he makes on the TRO -- or a temporary restraining order -- is not indicative of how he'd rule over the merits of the case and a potential preliminary injunction.

Kirschner, the DOJ attorney, on the unusual agreement Texas signed with DHS: "This is a v extraordinary request. 'Nevermind you can't do what you want to do because the last administration, 12 days before gave us the veto over your policy."
