Ken Paxton, Raul Labrador Lead Coalition of 14 States to Block Biden's Mass Amnesty Plan for One Million Illegal Immigrants

Nov 8, 2024, 12:38 AM

A coalition of 14 states, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador, has successfully won a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris administration. The ruling halts the administration's attempt to grant mass amnesty to an estimated one million illegal immigrants currently in the United States. The lawsuit was initiated by America First Legal, which argued that the Biden administration's actions were illegal. This legal victory is seen as a significant setback for the administration's immigration policy, particularly in the context of ongoing criticism regarding the handling of immigration issues and border security.
