In a decisive blow to President Joe Biden's immigration strategy, U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar, based in California, has put a temporary halt on the administration's new asylum rules.
A federal judge blocked a Biden asylum rule making migrants ineligible for asylum if they entered illegally and did not use lawful means established by the federal government.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said last week that he has directed the agency to stop using the term “illegal alien” when referring to foreign nationals who come into the United States illegally.
"Encounters of illegal migrants by the Border Patrol at the Southwest Border were down in June, but only because the Biden administration has invented other means of allowing large numbers of inadmissible aliens to enter the country," Stein pointed out.
