The Obama Administration filed papers today asking the U.S. Supreme Court to immediately review its plan to protect and give work permits to as many as five million immigrants, the Associated Press reports. If the high court agrees to decide the case by June and finds in the administration's favor, it would give the president seven months to implement the plan.
