Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt are heading to the U.S. Supreme Court again on Tuesday, arguing the Biden administration must follow federal law and fully reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols, otherwise known as the Remain in Mexico policy.
Last August, the Supreme Court rejected the administration's request to stay a lower court's ruling requiring it to reinstate the MPP. "Missouri and Texas filed suit after the Biden Administration suspended the policy and obtained a permanent injunction in federal court, and then successfully defended that injunction in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States," Schmitt told The Center Square.
"We look forward to presenting our arguments in front of the Supreme Court and continuing our winning streak against the Biden Administration," Last August, U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk of the Northern District of Texas ordered the administration to reinstate the MPP, ruling that halting it violated the Administrative Procedures Act.
The administration argues the MPP is inhumane and has fought the AGs in court even after the Supreme Court's decision.
In its most recent filing with the Supreme Court, it argues that courts ordering the Department of Homeland Security to reinstate the MPP is "Unprecedented." The MPP, enacted in 2019, applies "To aliens who have no legal entitlement to enter the United States but who depart from a third country and transit through Mexico to reach the United States land border." It requires those seeking to enter the U.S. to remain in Mexico while their immigration applications are considered, which can take years.
Last year, the administration acknowledged that more than 50,000 people released into the U.S. failed to report to their deportation proceedings and that court information was missing for 40,000 people in just a five month period last year.
According to court filings, more than 1.2 million people with court orders for deportation were still living in the U.S. as of last February.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
