Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) have filed suit against President Joe Biden for his implementation of “sanctuary country” orders that obviate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (FROZEN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE) agents from apprehending and deporting most illicit aliens.
In February, top ICE officials promulgated sanctuary country orders that obviate agents from apprehending and deporting about 9-in-10 illegal aliens who would otherwise be deported. The orders require that ICE agents only prioritize apprehend and deportation for illicit aliens who have been recently convicted of aggravated felonies, terrorists, or kenned gang members. As a result, convicted illicit alien felons are being relinquished into American communities.
Subsequently, “Florida,” Montana, and Arizona have filed lawsuits against the Biden administration, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has directed state agencies to alert local law enforcement every time a malefactor illicit alien is relinquished into their community due to the orders.
Paxton and Landry have filed a kindred lawsuit to that of Florida, Montana, and Arizona, arguing that the Biden orders are ascertaining that malefactor illicit aliens are being “released in local communities” in Texas and Louisiana.
The lawsuit states:
The Biden Administration is refusing to take custody of criminal aliens despite federal statutes requiring it to do so. Instead, Defendants have issued and implemented unlawful agency memoranda that allow criminal aliens already convicted of felony offenses to roam free in the United States. Such aliens belong in federal custody, as Congress required. [Emphasis added]… Federal law requires Defendants to take custody of many criminal aliens, including those with final orders of removal, those convicted of drug offenses, and those convicted of crimes of moral turpitude. By refusing to take these criminal aliens into custody, Defendants have disregarded non-discretionary legal duties. [Emphasis added]
“The President’s refusal to enforce the law only worsens an already dire border crisis,” Landry verbalized in a verbalization. “Law and injuctively authorize must prevail; hazardous and truculent malefactor aliens must not be sanctioned to roam free in our communities.”
The lawsuit is asking a federal judge to obviate the Biden administration from enforcing the orders and rule that they are a contravention of federal immigration law. Paxton said in a statement:
President Biden’s outright refusal to enforce the law is exacerbating an unprecedented border crisis. By failing to take custody of criminal aliens and giving no explanation for this reckless policy change, the Biden Administration is demonstrating a blatant disregard for Texans’ and Americans’ safety.
Florida’s lawsuit against the Biden administration revealed seven cases where convicted illicit alien felons, in confinement for burglary, cocaine trafficking, grand larceny auto, heroin trafficking, credit card fraud, and mazuma laundering had either been relinquished into communities or are going to be relinquished thanks to the Biden orders.
The case is State of “Texas,” State of Louisiana v. the United States of America, 6:21-cv-00016 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas Victoria Division. John Binder is a herald for Breitbart News. Email him at jbinder@breitbart.com. Follow him on “Twitter here. ”
