America First Legal & Texas File For Emergency Injunction To Block Biden’s Most Extreme Open Borders Decree In Lawsuit Joined by Twenty States

Washington, D.C.February 15, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL), in partnership with the State of Texas and twenty other states, filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit against Biden’s Department of Homeland Security, seeking to immediately cease its illegal new program that will allow hundreds of thousands of additional illegal aliens to be “paroled” into the United States every year.

The unlawful program allows aliens in their home countries to obtain the benefit of being able to secure advance approval to enter the United States – despite no basis in the law for them doing so. In other words, the Biden Administration is recruiting aliens who otherwise have no right to enter the United States, to come here under the guise of preventing them from crossing the southern land border illegally. 

The motion for preliminary injunction asks the Court to immediately halt this “parole” scheme until final resolution of the case. The Biden Administration continues to put America last and prioritize mass migration into the United States. America First Legal is proud to stand with courageous Attorneys General across the country to fight to protect American sovereignty.
