Texas asked a federal judge Wednesday to issue an injunction halting President Biden’s new program offering to admit up to 30,000 migrants a month under a new “parole” policy, saying the administration invented a new immigration procedure without permission from Congress.
The move ups the legal stakes of the case by asking a judge to step in and rule quickly on the legality of Mr. Biden’s latest immigration policy.
His court filing came just days after the Biden administration released new border numbers that suggested the parole program is working, at least on the four nationalities covered by it. Mr. Paxton said that breaks the law where Congress laid out the immigration system, with specific caps on which immigrants can be admitted. The law does envision a parole power, but says it is to be used on a case-by-case basis in “urgent” humanitarian cases or where the public would derive a “significant” benefit.
Stephen Miller, an architect of President Trump’s immigration policy and now president of America First Legal, said the Biden team is trying to hide the chaos at the southern border by converting illegal entries to legal ones.
