Federal Judge Blocks ‘Lawless Biden Administration Policy that Halted Nearly all Deportations’
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is celebrating a breaking news court decision. In an announcement on Twitter, Brnovich wrote: “VICTORY: A federal judge just blocked the lawless Biden Administration policy that halted nearly all deportations after our office challenged this guidance.”
“Our office has been at the forefront of the fights for the rule of law this past year. Arizona deserves nothing less” he continued along with attaching the court document. “STATE OF ARIZONA, et al, Plaintiffs, vs. JOSEPH R. BIDEN et al, Defendants” the case reads.
The Tucson Sentinel reports “the states of Arizona, Montana and Ohio won a preliminary injunction on Tuesday enjoining a Biden administration immigration policy that narrows the Department of Homeland Security’s deportation focus to immigrants deemed to be dangerous.”
The rule put in place by Biden instructed immigrations officials to “conduct extensive analysis of an illegal immigrant’s criminal history, mental and physical health, length of time in the country and various other factors before making a removal determination” writes the Tucson Sentinel.
“The states claimed this type of discretionary ‘balancing test’ exceeded the scope of authority granted to DHS and ICE, and causes extensive harm by allowing more dangerous illegal immigrants within their borders.”
The Tucson Sentinel reports:
The guidance, initially instituted on an interim basis by President Joe Biden in January 2021, instructed DHS officials and officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to “focus their civil immigration enforcement efforts on noncitizens who present a threat to national or border security or public safety.”
Texas immediately challenged the guidance in federal court and eventually won an injunction to prevent its enforcement, although that injunction was stayed by a ruling from a panel of appeals court judges.
While its temporary guidelines were being litigated, DHS made several changes and eventually passed permanent guidance for prioritized removal in September 2021.

The House of Representatives failed to pass a continuing resolution negotiated between conservative and moderate House Republicans in an effort to avoid a government shutdown.
The Spending Reduction and Border Security Act was introduced by Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida on Sept. 18, following negotiations between the conservative House Freedom Caucus and centrist Main Street Caucus, as a compromise between divided factions of the House Republican Conference to achieve unanimity while avoiding a government shutdown. The bill failed the House by a vote of 198 yeas to 232 nays, with all Democrats voting against the bill.
The bill would fund the government until Oct. 31 and cut public spending by 8.1285%, according to the bill’s text. This would yield $1.59 trillion for one month until the House and Senate pass 12 appropriations bills to provide permanent funding for the 2024 fiscal year.
The Biden administration issued a statement on Friday staunchly opposing the bill, claiming that its cuts to public spending were too severe. It indicated that President Joe Biden will veto the bill if it is presented to him, which means it is unlikely to be passed by the Democratic-led Senate, either.
The Senate has been working on its own bipartisan continuing resolution to fund the government, which includes funding for Ukraine. House Republicans have criticized the bill, with Donalds saying that it is “dead on arrival” in the House.
