A federal judge delivered a severe spanking to President Biden over the southern border, ruling Wednesday that there is an illegal immigration “crisis” and accusing the administration of reducing the boundary to “a meaningless line in the sand.”
Judge T. Kent Wetherell, a Trump appointee who sits in northern Florida, said Homeland Security’s approach of catching and releasing massive numbers of illegal immigrants on “parole” is illegal.“Collectively, these actions were akin to posting a flashing ‘Come In, We’re Open’ sign on the southern border,” he wrote in a 109-page ruling.
He pointed in particular to testimony of Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz, who said illegal entrants were only rarely released under former President Trump but that catch-and-release has become the default posture in the Biden administration. Under the law, illegal immigrants who make claims of protection are supposed to be detained while their immigration cases proceed.
