(CNN) -
A federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked the Biden administration's move to suspend deportations on Tuesday.
Which dealt a blow to one of the administration's first immigration actions.
The early defeat, albeit temporary, demonstrates the limits of President Joe Biden's executive actions, which are expected to be challenged in court.
The court decision stems from a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, challenging the 100-day suspension of deportations, which took effect last Friday.
The suit cited in part an agreement signed between the Department of Homeland Security and Texas in the final days of Trump's presidency that required the agency to consult with the state before changing or modifying policies.
However, Judge Drew Tipton of the Southern District of Texas said the temporary restraining order was appropriate under the Administrative Procedures Act.
Tipton prevented the Biden administration from executing its deportation pause for 14 days.
The moratorium has only been in effect for five days.
