Justices on the Supreme Court appeared concerned Tuesday about the prospect of allowing states to sue the Biden administration over one of its immigration policies, and the Justice Department warned doing so could allow states to 'sue the federal government about virtually any policy.'
Justices on the Supreme Court appeared concerned Tuesday about the prospect of allowing states to sue the Biden administration over one of its immigration policies, and the Justice Department warned doing so could allow states to"sue the federal government about virtually any policy."
Among the questions justices must consider is whether Texas and Louisiana had the legal standing to bring a challenge and, if they did, whether the immigration policies are unlawful. The high court must also consider whether the Texas judge had the authority to block the policy even if it is unlawful.
"As the recent explosion in state suits vividly illustrates, respondents' contrary view would allow any state to sue the federal government about virtually any policy." "It is estimated that there are more than 11 million undocumented or otherwise removable noncitizens in the United States," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in the memo, to which the DOJ argues the administration does not have the funding to address every individual undocumented immigrant in the nation.
During a case heard last term over Biden's efforts to end former President Donald Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, Kavanaugh ruled in lockstep with Roberts, along with the court's three liberal justices, to grant a favorable ruling to Biden.
