Texas sues to block Biden DHS rule allowing more asylum-seekers to remain in US
Fox News
Texas filed a lawsuit against President Biden on Thursday over a new immigration rule.
The suit seeks to block a DHS policy that seeks to change the processing system for immigrants who claim "credible fear" of persecution in their home countries. Current law states that immigration judges handle such cases, but the DHS rule, which would take effect May 29, transfers that authority to asylum officers.
The policy would also give asylum officers authority to parole – otherwise known as release – asylum seekers into the U.S. if they deem that detaining the migrant during the proceedings is "impracticable."
