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.
The Justice Department has said it plans to sue the state of Texas if it doesn’t remove the 1,000-foot floating barrier in the Rio Grande river in an attempt to deter illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States.
"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.
