The Supreme Court announced Tuesday they will hear arguments on the challenge to President Obama's executive action concerning immigration.
The Court could potentially overturn the order that would block immigration services from deporting unauthorized immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for five years or more, are parents of U.S. citizens, and have no serious criminal record.
Experts say no matter which way the Supreme Court decides, it will not impact benefits immigrants are getting under current programs.
"There's no negative action that could happen, simply the lack of positive action," says Tim Winn, Director of Immigration Legal Services at Catholic Charities Indianapolis. "So we would be concerned that a potential five million people would not benefit from this."
In response to the order in November, 2014, Indiana joined 16 other states in a lawsuit challenging the executive order. That case later grew to include 26 states.
A federal judge in South Texas temporarily blocked the order one day before it would have taken effect.
The number of unauthorized immigrants living in Indiana is estimated at 85,000 according to a report from the Pew Research Center.
