Red States Ask Federal Court to End Biden’s ‘Parole’ Migration Pipeline:
A coalition of 20 Republican states, led by Texas and America First Legal, filed a motion for preliminary injunction in federal court on Tuesday that asks the court to block President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from expanding the “catch and release” of border crossers into the U.S.
The GOP states’ motion comes one month after the states filed a lawsuit in federal court that asked the court to declare Biden’s recent expansion of the parole program unlawful.
Biden’s recent expansion of the parole program would “allow up to 30,000 qualifying nationals per month” from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti to stay in the country and work while they await their immigration hearings.”
However, as the states argue, Congress authorized the parole of illegal aliens into the country only on a “‘case-by-case basis’ for ‘urgent humanitarian reasons’ or ‘significant public benefit.’”
“Accordingly, parole cannot be used as an alternative admissions program, nor can it be granted en masse — doing so violates the requirement that it be granted only on a case-by-case basis,” the states argued. --->READ MORE HERE
20 States Rally in Suit Against Biden’s Immigrant ‘Parole’ Program:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Feb. 14 led a coalition of 20 states in partnership with America First Legal (AFL) in a lawsuit against President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security. The states seek an injunction against a new program that would allow hundreds of thousands more immigrants to be “paroled” into the United States each year.
The program allows migrants to obtain advance approval to enter the United States while still in their home country, despite there not being a previous legal basis for them to do so.
The states’ motion for preliminary injunction requests that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas immediately halt this “parole” plan until the lawsuit is resolved.
ALF announced the lawsuit on Jan. 24 of this year, saying Biden administration officials created “a new blatantly unlawful program that will permit up to 360,000 aliens to be ‘paroled’ into the United States every year—despite no authorization from Congress to do so.”
AFL President Stephen Miller said in a statement about the injunction that “Biden’s plan to mass import unauthorized aliens from their home countries directly to the United States without any legal basis for doing so is nothing more than a brazen attempt to accelerate stratospheric migration levels while, at the same time, concealing the sheer volume of cross border flows by transporting these illicit aliens directly from their home countries to the American interior.” --->READ MORE HERE
