Justice Dept. reviewing Supreme Court immigration decision: Lynch

PHOENIX | BY JULIA EDWARDS

The Obama administration is looking into whether it can challenge the Supreme Court's decision to block President Barack Obama's plan to spare millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Tuesday.

"We will be reviewing the case and seeing what, if anything else, we need to do in court," Lynch told Reuters in an interview.

Lynch did not say what legal options the Obama administration may pursue following a split decision by the Supreme Court justices last week that left in place a block on the executive action by a lower court.

She said any future executive actions Obama may take on immigration would be left to the White House.
