Carr Files Suit Against Biden Administration’s Dangerous and Unlawful Immigration Policy
APRIL 04, 2022
ATLANTA, GA – Attorney General Chris Carr has joined with two attorneys general in filing suit against the Biden administration’s dangerous and unlawful immigration policy. As issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the policy seeks to avoid the deportation of many illegal immigrants, including those convicted of drug trafficking, domestic assault and other criminal offenses.
“The Biden administration’s dangerous and unlawful immigration policy encourages illegal border crossings and poses a threat to law-abiding citizens across our state and nation,” said Carr. “This unprecedented attempt to circumvent federal immigration law ultimately emboldens criminals and undermines the efforts of our law enforcement officers who work each day to protect and defend our country and our communities. It is the paramount duty of government to protect person and property, and we will fight every day to ensure all Georgians are kept safe.”
Through multiple acts of legislation, Congress has instructed the Executive Branch to arrest, detain and deport certain criminal aliens due to concerns that those who are not detained continue to engage in criminal activities and fail to appear for removal proceedings. The Biden administration’s immigration policy would allow certain criminals who entered the country illegally to return to our communities without warning to the states or the public.
