Texas, Stephen Miller sue to force deportation of children, other migrants due to pandemic

Source: the hill

............................

The Biden administration has been relying heavily on a Trump-era "Title 42" rule to quickly deport a majority of those who attempt to cross the southern border, but it has made exceptions for unaccompanied children and some families.

Texas’s suit argues that the administration’s “abandonment of their authority” under the law means “more Texans will be exposed to Covid-19, more Texans will contract Covid-19, more Texans will die of Covid-19 and Texas will incur significant costs in terms of health care and law enforcement resources.”
..................................
As of Wednesday, the government had more than 21,000 children in custody.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the northern district of Texas, argues the Biden administration violated the Administrative Procedures Act, among other laws, and asks for an injunction to force DHS to “return all covered aliens to Mexico” or detain them for at least 14 days before release.

DHS did not respond to request for comment. But administration officials have repeatedly said they would not use Title 42 or any other law that would leave children stranded alone on the other side of the border............................

“...more Texans will be exposed to Covid-19... will contract Covid-19...will die of Covid-19...will incur significant costs in terms of health care and law enforcement....”

Objection. Assumes facts not in evidence.

What evidence is provable is that if more Texans wore masks, avoided huge crowds, did social distancing, and got vaccinated - INSTEAD OF FIGHTING ALL THOSE ACTIONS - maybe the court will give a shit about that argument!!!

If we could go back 80 years ago to Europe, him and I would be on the same cattle car to Auschwitz. Doesn’t he understand his own background?

Talk about cognitive dissonance.

This is about Miller trying to stay relevant and get $$$ from the MAGA base. Not even the TX government really cares about Texans from all indications.
