Texas AG Sues Biden Over Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the White House to immediately reinstate Trump’s migrant protection protocol, specifically the “remain in Mexico” policy.

Newsmax reports:

When asked how the Biden administration is reinstating the policy, Paxton told Fox News: ”It looks like to us they’re just stalling. We don’t know for sure all of the facts, that’s why we want discovery. But it seems like they’re using the excuse that they haven’t worked out their arrangement with Mexico.

”I think they’re just trying to keep ignoring federal law, keep ignoring the Supreme Court ruling. The government doesn’t care about federal law; clearly, we’ve already established that. Now they don’t care about all the orders from the courts, including the Supreme Court,” Paxton continued.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday, accuses the administration of ignoring the court’s order to reinstate the policy, which would keep migrants in Mexico while awaiting immigration proceedings in the United States.

Last month, the Supreme Court declined to grant a stay after a Texas federal judge ordered that the policy be reinstated. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals did the same earlier.

Paxton says that despite the ruling the policy has yet to be reinstated. ”What we want is deadlines, we want some type of deadline for them to take action sooner rather than later. We won this about a month ago,” Paxton said.
