WASHINGTON, D.C. — A significant legal victory was announced today for America First Legal (AFL), which represented Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a successful challenge to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program. This program, initiated under the Biden-Harris Administration, aimed to provide a form of administrative amnesty and a potential pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants residing in the United States.
On August 23, 2024, AFL joined forces with the states of Texas and Idaho and a coalition comprising fourteen additional state Attorneys General from states including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming. This formidable legal partnership was focused on dismantling what they labeled as an illegal executive amnesty scheme proposed by the Biden-Harris DHS.
Their concerted efforts culminated in a court ruling that has effectively halted the discussed amnesty program. This decision marks a significant setback to the administration’s immigration strategy, which opponents have criticized as an attempt to undermine the integrity of national immigration policies.
Gene Hamilton, the Executive Director of America First Legal, issued a robust statement following the court’s decision. He criticized the administration’s approach to immigration, claiming it aimed to destruct the existing immigration framework and obliterate the nation’s border controls. Hamilton praised the collaborative effort of the involved states and their attorneys general, labeling the legal victory as a defense of national values and a block against what he termed as the largest administrative amnesty attempt in American history.
The ruling and the final judgement documents, pivotal to understanding the complete implications of this case, are now publicly accessible. These documents provide not only the legal reasoning behind the court’s decision but also outline the potential impacts of the judgement on future administrative actions concerning immigration.
America First Legal continues to update the public and their supporters through various social media platforms, ensuring widespread dissemination of their activities and legal battles.
