The attorneys general of three states have sued President Joe Biden’s administration over a memorandum that ordered immigration agents not to arrest most illegal immigrants inside the United States.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, all Republicans, say the directive from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is “a brazen display of contempt for Congress’s statutory commands.”
