A U.S. District Court Judge in Texas, Drew Tipton, dealt the Biden administration's lenient immigration and border enforcement policies another blow on Friday when he struck down a Department of Homeland Security enforcement memo that instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to give deference to certain individuals inside the United States illegally.
In his order, Judge Tipton explains that the Biden administration's rule "as arbitrary and capricious, contrary to law, and failing to observe procedure under the Administrative Procedure Act."
"The Executive Branch may prioritize its resources," Tipton's order explained. "But it must do so within the bounds set by Congress." By "[u]sing the words 'discretion' and 'prioritization,' the Executive Branch claims the authority to suspend statutory mandates," he continued. "The law does not sanction this approach."

Townhall reported on the administrative policy decision made by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas back in September when the change was made to restrict the types of people that ICE could remove for being in the country unlawfully. Boiled down, the policy meant that a noncitizen being in the United States illegally was not enough grounds for enforcement action against that individual, even if they had a prior rap sheet so long as earlier crimes were not subjectively found to be "serious." That is, Biden's homeland security chief gave illegal immigrants — and even some illegal immigrant criminals — a pass for their crimes.

A bit of good news.
It's not only an illegitimate administration, it's a lawless one as well.

Yup, Senile Joe was cheated in to get the flow of illegal aliens going again.
“Tipton is pausing his order for 7 days.”
DS stooge making sure the next caravan gets in under the wire.
“...arbitrary and capricious, contrary to law, and failing to observe procedure...”
Apply that standard to ANYTHING this POS has done since Day One and we can right this listing ship!
“Give deference to certain…”
Sounds like equal protection alright
So true.
Every damn wetback is a criminal the moment the cross the big river. Deport every last one of them.
Why isn’t Biden arrested for violating his oath of office.
Oh wait democrats don’t have oaths only iron handed rules.
Just as the soros DA's don't prosecute crimes. This isn't America any longer.
