(TheRedAlertNews.com) – While the regular term of the United States Supreme Court ended on June 30th, it didn’t stop the Court from handing President Joe Biden another defeat this week.
In a 5-4 decision, the majority declined to reinstate the Biden administration’s immigration enforcement guidelines setting priorities for deciding which illegal immigrants should be deported.
As National Review recounts:
“The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to restore the Biden administration’s immigration enforcement guidelines that set priorities for deciding which illegal immigrants should be arrested and deported after the guidance was blocked by a federal judge in Texas…
“The guidelines at issue instruct immigration officials to focus on arresting and deporting immigrants who are national-security threats and immigrants who recently crossed the border illegally…
“The administration argued that the guidelines, which were issued in September and would mark a return to Obama-era policies, are necessary because the government does not have the resources to apprehend and deport more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.” [emphasis added]
Despite the Biden administration’s arguments, the Court sided with a Texas judge who stopped Biden’s desired guidelines.
“A federal judge in Texas blocked the guidance, saying it allowed the release of illegal immigrants with criminal records. Judge Drew B. Tipton’s order came in response to a lawsuit brought by Texas and Louisiana. The two states said the release of illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds is a burden on their justice systems.” [emphasis added]
