U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen did not immediately rule on a closely watched case
Over the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program,.
Which confers limited protections on hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought into the United States as children.
The judge set an early April deadline for lawyers on both sides to provide more information.
And a coalition of other Republican-led states that want the court to invalidate the DACA program.
