A coalition of 21 Republican attorneys general filed a motion in federal court aiming to halt a Biden administration policy that allows 30,000 immigrants from four countries to fly into the United States each month.

The motion to reconsider is led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and America First Legal (AFL), a conservative legal group. They filed the motion after a federal court dismissed their lawsuit in March for not proving that “Texas has suffered an injury.”
