Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Feb. 14 led a coalition of 20 states in partnership with America First Legal (AFL) in a lawsuit against President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security. The states seek an injunction against a new program that would allow hundreds of thousands more immigrants to be “paroled” into the United States each year.
The program allows migrants to obtain advance approval to enter the United States while still in their home country, despite there not being a previous legal basis for them to do so.
