Texas AG Paxton hits out at ‘brutal reality’ of Biden immigration agenda as Title 42 set to expire
Fox News
Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is hitting the Biden administration for its immigration policies, saying they should "shock the conscience of every America."
Paxton, who has been a constant foe of the administration’s immigration policies with at least 15 lawsuits related to the border and immigration, spoke ahead of the expiration of Title 42 on Thursday.

The public health order was put into place at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the southern border for public health reasons. In March, nearly half of all migrant encounters ended in a Title 42 expulsion. The order will end on May 11 along with the COVID-19 national emergency.
