On January 22, 2021, Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration. Paxton accused the Department of Homeland Security of violating immigration law by ordering the deportation freeze.
Comment from AG Paxton:
“In one of its first of dozens of steps that harm Texas and the nation as a whole, the Biden administration directed DHS to violate federal immigration law and breach an agreement to consult and cooperate with Texas on that law. Our state defends the largest section of the southern border in the nation. Failure to properly enforce the law will directly and immediately endanger our citizens and law enforcement personnel."
The lawsuit was filed to the U.S. District Court of Southern Texas.
