Florida Strikes Again: Biden Immigration Policies Handed a Setback in the Eleventh Circuit

Campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been keeping his immigration enforcement bona fides in the news, including by taking credit for relocating migrants to California’s capital. 

Politico reports that the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for now gave Florida a victory in delaying President Joe Biden’s pursuit of immigration policy.  The 11th Circuit denied a stay that would have allowed the Department of Homeland Security to parole some asylum-seekers into the U.S. as the legal battle continues.

Here is court’s order. 

The Florida lawsuit against the Biden administration targets immigration policies put in place shortly after the president entered office. The challenge claims that federal authorities were ignoring a federal law that requires all migrants unlawfully entering the country to be detained.

U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell ordered federal immigration authorities to revamp their “Parole Plus Alternatives to Detention” policy.
