Florida Sues Administration

 Florida Sues Biden Administration Over Release of Illegal Immigrants - Epoch Times

The Biden administration’s repeated release of illegal immigrants has drawn a legal challenge from the state of Florida. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, a Republican, sued the federal government over its “catch-and-release” policy, which has led to the freeing of over 225,000 illegal immigrants this year.

The lawsuit primarily concerns the treatment of immigrants seeking asylum, which is granted in cases where authorities rule they have a legitimate fear of persecution based on their race, religion, or several other reasons.

Federal law requires the government to detain the asylum seekers until authorities rule on their case. But under Joe Biden, it has released at least 225,000 illegal immigrants so far, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

“Releasing this many arriving aliens into the interior necessarily means that the government is violating congressional commands in the immigration laws,” the 23-page suit, filed in federal court in Pensacola, states.
