News From Florida: Florida Federal Judge Condemns Biden Administration Immigration Policies
for Politico reports on a federal court ruling yesterday condemning the Biden administration’s immigration policies. U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell, a President Trump appointee, ordered federal immigration authorities to change a key policy that he says runs counter to federal law while at the same time castigated the Biden administration for its handling of what he called an “unsustainable” crisis on the nation’s southern border.
“For the most part, the court finds in favor of Florida because, as detailed below, the evidence establishes that defendants have effectively turned the Southwest border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country,” wrote Judge Wetherell.
Wetherell added that the Biden immigration policies were “akin to posting a flashing ‘Come In, We’re Open’ sign on the southern border. The unprecedented ‘surge’ of aliens that started arriving at the Southwest Border almost immediately after President Biden took office and that has continued unabated over the past two years was a predictable consequence of these actions.” (bold added).
