Biden Democrats Spanked by Courts AGAIN...


Texas Governor Buses More Illegal Migrants To Kamala Harris' House

For decades, Democrats have ignored or applauded the mass movements of
illegal immigrants across the US southern border as a grand signal of
cosmopolitan virtue.  However, as soon as border states began to fight
back against open border policies and started sending those same
migrants to leftist cities, suddenly their tone changed and their
enthusiasm disappeared.

The moment blue sanctuary cities were forced to deal with the direct
repercussions of an invasion of low skill, welfare seeking illegal
migrants, leftists became enraged. Instead of blaming their own failed
ideals, they started blaming the conservative governors that are
bussing the illegals to their doorstep.  Unphased by the indignant
whining of Democrats, the governors of Florida and Texas have
continued their effort to make a point - If leftist controlled cities
can't even handle a few thousand migrants, why should border towns be
expected to handle millions?

With the continuance of Title 42 now in question, the ability of
border patrol agents to ship migrants directly back to Mexico is about
to disappear.  And, if red states aren't allowed by the Biden
Administration to send them back, they might as well send them to
Biden.

Texas Governor Greg Abbot has sent another group of buses carrying
illegals to already overwhelmed Washington DC, straight to the
residence of Vice President Kamala Harris:

As the saying goes, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
Perhaps Democrat constituents will finally start questioning the
immigration policies of their leadership?



Court Blocks Biden Admin Policy Of Releasing Illegal Immigrants Into
US Without Court Dates, As Title 42 Expires

A federal judge in Florida has issued a two-week restraining order on
the Biden administration’s policy of releasing illegal immigrants into
the United States without court dates, just hours before Title 42 was
due to expire.

Judge T. Kent Wetherell II, an appointee of former President Donald
Trump, issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday night against
the Biden administration’s new parole policy that would have replaced
Title 42, the measure that allowed for the immediate expulsion of
illegal border crossers to Mexico during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The temporary restraining order comes into place from 11:59 p.m. on
Thursday, May 11, according to court filings (pdf).

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, who sued the Biden
administration over the policy, announced the ruling on Twitter late
Thursday.

“We took swift action to protect the American people from [President
Joe Biden’s] unlawful plan to release thousands of illegal immigrants
when Title 42 lifts in an hour. I am grateful for the quick decision
by the federal judge,” Moody wrote.

Moody argued the new policy is “materially identical” to a similar
program, known as Parole plus Alternative to Detention (Parole + ATD),
which was deemed unlawful by a Florida court in March.

The judge agreed, writing in his ruling the policy was “materially
indistinguishable” from Parole + ATD, “both in its purpose” to reduce
overcrowding at detention facilities and “manner of operation.”
Biden Admin Policy

Under the new policy outlined in a Department of Homeland Security
memo, apprehended illegal immigrants could be released into the United
States after processing without receiving an alien registration number
or a court date.

The memo outlining the policy states that Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
has the authority to “parole certain noncitizens into the United
States” temporarily “on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian
reasons or significant public benefit.”

The new policy was set to replace the Title 42 public health order, as
it expires at midnight, to allow for the release of illegal border
crossers under “parole with conditions.”

“The policy does not contemplate that the alien would be taken into
custody at the [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] facility and, as
was the case with the Parole+ATD policy, aliens released under the
challenged policy would not have an immigration ‘case’ that can
‘continue to be dealt with’ after the purposes of the parole have been
served,” Wetherell wrote in his ruling that was issued just hours
before Title 42 was set to expire, and as thousands of migrants wait
on the Mexico side of the border.

The Biden administration argued that the new policy is a response to
“a moment of crisis at the border,” and that blocking the DHS’s parole
authority “on the eve of the crisis” could “cause chaos and undermine
the security of the border and the safety of border officials.”

However, Wetherall said this “rhetoric rings hollow” because “this
problem is largely one of [the Biden administration’s] own making
through the adoption and implementation of policies that have
encouraged the so-called ‘irregular migration’ that has become fairly
regular over the past 2 years.”
‘The Border Is Not Open’: Mayorkas

At midnight on Thursday, as Title 42 expired, Mayorkas issued a video
statement saying that migrants who arrive at the border without using
“a lawful pathway” won’t be eligible for asylum and will face “tougher
consequences.”

“We are ready to humanely process and remove people without a legal
basis to remain in the U.S.,” Mayorkas said in the video. “Do not
believe the lies of smugglers. People who do not use available legal
pathways to enter the U.S. now face tougher consequences including a
minimum five-year ban on reentry and potential criminal prosecution.”
