A federal judge has ordered the Biden administration to end the expedited releases of migrants entering the United States from Mexico, potentially straining already stretched holding facilities
ELLIOT SPAGAT and DAVID FISCHERMIAMI — — A federal judge Wednesday ordered the Biden administration to end the expedited releases of migrants who enter the United States illegally from Mexico, potentially straining already stretched holding facilities.
In declaring a key administration tool illegal, U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II offered a scathing review of President Joe Biden's border policiesThe administration has"effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country," he wrote.
Wetherell's language echoed Republican talking points heaping blame for all the border's ills on Biden. While numbers have soared in the last two years, similar challenges dogged his predecessors, Trump and Barack Obama.
