The Lone Star State has sued the Biden administration more than any other Republican-led state, waging 25 lawsuits against the Democrat in his first 15 months in office.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's filing rate is equally as high as his win rate. The federal courts have sided with him in 93% of cases in which there has been movement.
Immigration is also a leading concern for Texans, according to Paxton. Nine of the state's 25 lawsuits are over policy changes that the Biden administration implemented as it reversed Trump-era immigration policies, many of which Becerra initially sued Trump for imposing in the first place. "The strategy of suing about immigration has been extraordinarily successful," Reitz said during the Texas Public Policy Foundation's conference in Austin in January."That's how obviously unlawful [the Biden administration's] conduct is — that courts everywhere are just shutting down this administration's agenda. And so we're happy to have these wins."
Paxton sued Biden for inadequately enforcing Title 42, a public health policy that Trump implemented at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 to avoid detaining illegal immigrants who came across the southern border.
