WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL), representing Attorney General Ken Paxton, won a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris Administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding an unlawful program that would have provided administrative amnesty and a pathway to citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the United States.
On August 23, 2024, the AFL partnered with the States of Texas and Idaho, along with a coalition of fourteen state Attorneys General—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming—to sue the Biden-Harris DHS and block its illegal executive amnesty scheme.
That program has now been officially stopped in court thanks to AFL and courageous Attorneys General across the country.
Statement from Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director:
“Since day one, the Biden-Harris Administration has dedicated itself to the decimation of our immigration system and the erasure of our borders. Time and again, the States stood up. And today, the great State of Texas and the courageous Ken Paxton, alongside a coalition of other brave Attorneys General, succeeded in stopping an illegal program that would have provided amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and paved the path for the largest administrative amnesty in American history. We are proud to stand alongside these patriots in defense of our great nation,” said Gene Hamilton.
