The Texas Attorney General’s Office has filed a lawsuit to block the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from allowing more asylum-seekers to remain in the United States.

The lawsuit (pdf), filed April 28, seeks a permanent ruling against an interim Biden administration rule that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says will “release even more illegal aliens into our country.”
