WASHINGTON D.C. (WBAP/KLIF) – Texas Attorney General Paxton, alongside Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, spoke to reporters on Tuesday following oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court in Texas v. Biden.
The lawsuit was jointly filed by Texas and Missouri in 2021 over the Biden Administration’s cancellation of the “Remain in Mexico” policy. The Trump-era policy was put in place to control the surge of illegal aliens at the southern border.
“Texas and Missouri previously obtained a permanent injunction in federal district court, and successfully defended it at both the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and when the federal government requested the Supreme Court to stay the injunction,” Paxton said.
The high court isn’t expected to announce a decision before summer.
Attorney General Paxton announced his 10th border-related lawsuit against the Biden administration last week, seeking an order requiring it to keep Title 42 restrictions in place.
