A federal judge has granted Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s request for a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration over its immigration policies.
While Federal statute requires illegal aliens convicted of felonies to be detained and deported, AG Landry said the Biden Administration has issued unlawful directives that resulted in the release of criminal aliens. Today, Judge Drew Tipton in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas issued the injunction requiring criminal aliens be deported.
“The fact that a judge had to tell the President of the United States to comply with standing law is shameful,” said Attorney General Landry. “We are a Nation of law and order; dangerous and violent criminal aliens must not be allowed to roam free in our communities.”
“While our fight is far from over, I am pleased the Court granted preliminary relief against the President’s unlawful attempt to limit deportations,” concluded Attorney General Landry.
