On Thursday, Federal Judge Drew Tipton, representing the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, issued a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration's ICE rules which drastically limited the categories of criminal aliens the agency could target.
According to Fox News, Judge Drew Tipton ruled that the policy violated congressional mandates and that Louisiana and Texas, which filed the lawsuit, were likely to succeed in their claim that the policy violated the Administrative Procedures Act (APA.)
In February, the Biden Administration issued the controversial new rule limiting agents' focus to just three categories of criminal illegal aliens: national security threats, "aggravated felonies," and those who crossed the border since Nov. 1, 2020. However, a strong argument can be made that such restrictions on ICE officers effectively began with President Biden's inauguration and were made official a month later.
