Texas attorney general sues Biden administration over deportation freeze

[CatWoman]

exas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the Biden administration in federal district court over its 100-day freeze on deporting unauthorized immigrants, and asking for a temporary restraining order.

Between the lines: The freeze went into effect Friday, temporarily halting most immigration enforcement in the U.S. In the lawsuit, Paxton claims the move "violates the U.S. Constitution, federal immigration and administrative law, and a contractual agreement between Texas" and the Department of Homeland Security.

Leon Fresco, an immigration attorney, told Axios that the lawsuit is likely to fail at fully reinstating deportations because a judge cannot force Immigration and Customs Enforcement to remove any particular person.

The executive branch has broad authority over immigration enforcement, as was seen in both President Obama and President Trump's administrations.

What they're saying: In the announcement of the moratorium on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security said the pause on deportations would "allow DHS to ensure that its resources are dedicated to responding to the most pressing challenges that the United States faces."

In Paxton's request for a temporary restraining order, he claims, "Without emergency relief, Texas faces irreparable harm from having to provide costly educational, social, welfare, healthcare, and other services to illegal aliens who remain in Texas because Defendants have ceased removing them."

2. That would be correct.

5. And he is also being investigated by the FBI for bribery.

I hope that they can indict him for those crimes before the next election cycle.

3. This court case should be interesting.

Listening to how they present their cases for the restraining order.

4. Yet Paxton shows no concern about providing costly educational, social, welfare, healthcare, and

other benefits to infants of an unplanned pregnancy.
