A federal judge in San Francisco on Monday extended a temporary restraining order preventing immigration authorities from using mismatched Social Security numbers to go after employers who may have hired undocumented workers, as reported by the Los Angeles Times

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer claimed that the federal crackdown would cause “serious irreparable harm.’ Immigration and labor groups have filed a lawsuit against the federal government. Judge Breyer will issue a final ruling within 10 days.

According to the L.A. Times, “the hearing centered on the legality of a rule proposed by Department of Homeland Security officials aimed at reducing the number of illegal immigrant workers. The rule was proposed after Congress failed to reach agreement on comprehensive immigration reform that would have included tougher sanctions on employers.”
