Supreme Court says Texas can’t sue Biden admin. over immigration enforcement policies

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that Texas and Louisiana do not have the standing to challenge immigration law guidelines issued by the Biden administration in 2021.

In an 8-1 decision in Texas et al. v United States, the high court ruled that guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security months after President Joe Biden took office could not be challenged by the states.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh authored the majority opinion, writing that the states did not have standing to sue the federal government under Article III of the U.S. Constitution.

“The States have not cited any precedent, history, or tradition of courts ordering the Executive Branch to change its arrest or prosecution policies so that the Executive Branch makes more arrests or initiates more prosecutions. On the contrary, this Court has previously ruled that a plaintiff lacks standing to bring such a suit,” wrote Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh noted, “this Court has declared that the Executive Branch also retains discretion over whether to remove a noncitizen from the United States.”

“In light of inevitable resource constraints and regularly changing public-safety and public-welfare needs, the Executive Branch must balance many factors when devising arrest and prosecution policies. That complicated balancing process in turn leaves courts without meaningful standards for assessing those policies,” he added.

What about us citizens? Isn’t the government supposed to protect us from invasion and crime?

Kavanaugh noted, “this Court has declared that the Executive Branch also retains discretion over whether to remove a noncitizen from the United States.”

So when President Trump is re-elected and orders that 30 million illegals be immediately departed and the sob-sister progressives go to the courts to
stop the deportations the Supreme Court is not going to let themselves or lower courts get involved?

Wanna' bet?
