U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, appointed by Donald Trump in 2020, handed Biden a victory on Friday.
A judge appointed by former President Donald Trump sided with one of President Joe Biden's immigration policies in a surprise ruling on Friday.U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton ruled against Texas and 20 other Republican-led states challenging a Biden administration program that allows as many as 30,000 migrants who are seeking asylum from four countries to enter the U.S. on an emergency basis each month.The program applies to approved migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
The judge noted that both the Department of Homeland Security and the Republican states agreed that the number of migrants entering the country under the program 'has dramatically decreased by as much as 44 percent.''Plaintiffs, therefore, are unable to demonstrate that they have been injured by the Program, and as a result, they lack standing to bring these claims,' Tipton wrote, while stressing that his ruling 'does not address the lawfulness' of the policy itself.
