A federal judge in Texas on Friday blocked one of President Joe Biden’s major policies limiting immigration enforcement.
U.S. District Court Judge Drew Tipton, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, ruled in favor of Texas and Louisiana that a Department of Homeland Security policy prevented U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from enforcing immigration law, NPR first reported.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a memo in September 2021 that directed immigration officials to use “discretionary authority” to prioritize arresting immigrants who “pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security.”
Tipton’s 96-page ruling Friday would nullify the guidance from Mayorkas and take effect in seven days, giving the Biden administration time to appeal the ruling.
A DHS spokesperson told CBS News that officials are “currently assessing the court order and considering next steps.”
“The executive branch may prioritize its resources. But it must do so within the bounds set by Congress,” Tipton wrote. “Using the words ‘discretion’ and ‘prioritization,’ the executive branch claims the authority to suspend statutory mandates. The law does not sanction this approach.”
Biden signed a declaration with other Latin American countries Friday on the last day of the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles in an effort to address the continent’s migration crisis, despite the absence of Mexico.
The Los Angeles Declaration of Migration, signed by 20 countries, provides economic support for countries most impacted by refugees and migration and sets a framework for a coordinated approach to managing migration.
The United States will announce $314 million in new aid to fund stabilization efforts in the western hemisphere as well as a multilateral “sting operation” to disrupt human smuggling networks in the Western Hemisphere.

And how much attention does Biden pay to judicial orders? And why is he not held accountable for not obeying them?
it’s what dictators do!
BECAUSE no one has the balls to ENFORCE any punishment on him (or anyone else) for violating those orders.
“The Los Angeles Declaration of Migration, signed by 20 countries, provides economic support for countries most impacted by refugees”,,,,whose money will never be seen by the people who are being abused in those countries, but 10% will undoubtedly find its way back into Biden Crime family bank accounts with the corrupted foreign political leaders keeping the other 90% for themselves. The money they get from the Drug Lords is just icing on the cake. It seems now that 10% of all foreign aid now comes back to local American politicians, which is why it is so popular in Washington D.C. and why Kamala first headed out of town to meet with these creeps the minute she was named Border Czar.
As of late there has been too much discretionary or prioritization in the enforcement laws that are on the books, this goes all the way to articles within The Constitution itself. The executive branch is supposed to enforce the laws passed by the Congress or interpreted by the Courts, to ignore, especially through executive order, that duty is troubling just as is their ridiculing those who do enforce them. After the election the Republicans should begin a full investigation although if Joe Biden is removed there will still be Kamala Harris to deal with!
