Texas sued the U.S. government for ordering a halt to most deportations of undocumented immigrants, the first major lawsuit challenging President Joe Biden’s policies just two days into his term and a likely sign of what’s to come from other Republican-led states.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claims the directive from the Department of Homeland Security violated federal law by failing to seek input from the state. Paxton also accused the administration of failing to enforce immigration laws and granting a “blanket amnesty.”
“On its first day in office, the Biden Administration cast aside congressionally enacted immigration laws and suspended the removal of illegal aliens whose removal is compelled by those very laws,” Paxton said in the complaint, filed Friday in federal court in Victoria, Texas. “In doing so, it ignored basic constitutional principles and violated its written pledge to work cooperatively with the State of Texas to address shared immigration enforcement concerns.”
The suit highlights the clash between Biden’s pledge to reverse the efforts of Donald Trump’s former administration to clamp down on people in the U.S. illegally and Republicans who want to continue those policies. Biden plans to eventually offer a path to citizenship to the almost 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., which will likely trigger additional litigation.

I hope they find a favorable federal judge who will put a nationwide ban in place just to let them have an idea of what they did to Trump.
The finding will be “No Standing”.
Arizona sued Obama. Court said immigration was a federal issue.
“I hope they find a favorable federal judge who will put a nationwide ban in place...”
And watch how fast SCOTUS slaps that down. It’s only okay when the Left does it.

RE: The finding will be “No Standing”.
Who were the ones who filed the lawsuit to stop Trump from deporting illegals or building the wall? The courts never used the “No Standing” decision on those suits.
More and more, I hope Texas either secedes from the Union or takes up building the border wall themselves and finish what Trump started. Either way, I’m tempted more and more to move there cuz in the time of civil war that’s sure to come Texas might be one of the only safe places to be.
Hah. If somebody leaves the gate open, who’s gonna round up the horses?
If Texas REALLY wants to get the Swamp’s attention, put a session option on the ballot and let Texas vote to leave!
secession that is...
Just as before, the courts will rule that Texas has no standing.
You are so naïve. Texas is two years away from becoming the next CA, NM, CO, etc.
Yes, preferably one that President Trump selected. Good for Texas! I think every state should do this just to mess up every evil piece of legislation that Bidumb and the Ho try to enact.
YES!!! God bless Texas!!!!
Now our Governor Ducey—Arizona—needs to get off his @ss and file a similar lawsuit. Arizona is a border state and we were being overrun and destroyed by illegals before Trump became president. Ducey had better get serious about protecting Arizonans or he will find his political career blowing up in his face.
I will be hounding Governor Ducey’s office about this.
I know Texas kept Republicans in power but since our vote doesn’t count, they should get away while they can. It would be nice to see one free place on Earth.
Good.. Fighting back.
