BATON ROUGE, LA – In a major win for the Constitution and the rule of
law, a federal judge has granted Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s
request for a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration over its
immigration policies.
While Federal statute clearly requires illegal aliens
convicted of felonies to be detained and deported, the Biden Administration has
issued unlawful directives that were resulting in the release of criminal
aliens. Today, Judge Drew Tipton in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Texas issued the injunction requiring
criminal aliens be deported.
“The fact that a judge had to tell the President of the
United States to comply with standing law is shameful,” said Attorney General
Landry. “We are a Nation of law and order; dangerous and violent criminal
aliens must not be allowed to roam free in our communities.”
“While our fight is far from over, I am pleased the
Court granted preliminary relief against the President’s unlawful attempt to
limit deportations,” concluded Attorney General Landry.
