WASHINGTON—Today, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) filed a brief in a Texas federal district court in a case that, for the first time, puts at issue a constitutional provision that allows states to go to war if they have been invaded.

Section 10 of Article I of the Constitution states that, “without the Consent of Congress,” states may not “engage in War” unless they have been “actually invaded.” Texas Governor Abbott, declaring that Mexican drug cartels have invaded his state without meaningful opposition by the federal government, has taken his own steps to defend Texas, including placing floating barriers in the Rio Grande to block illegal crossings into the state. . . .

 Today’s ruling by Federal District Court Judge Jon Tigar effectively negates any impediments to foreign nationals seeking to abuse our nation’s asylum laws, and will trigger an even more massive surge of people crossing our borders illegally, charges the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

The Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule implemented by the Biden administration in May bars some migrants who enter the U.S. between ports of entry from seeking asylum. . . . Read more about FAIR: Federal Judge Invites A New Surge of Asylum Abuse

Reversing a decision by a Nevada District Court, The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously held that the federal statute that criminalizes illegal re-entry is constitutional. The decision, issued on May 22, also found that the criminal re-entry law is not discriminatory.

Federal law has two specific statutes that establish criminal penalties for aliens who enter the U.S. without permission.  Section 1325 of Title 8 makes it a misdemeanor: (1) to enter the U.S. without proper inspection at a port of entry; or (2) to enter the U.S. between ports of entry, thereby avoiding examination or inspection by immigration officials.  Section 1326 of Title 8 – the statute in question here –makes it a felony for aliens who have been deported to subsequently re-enter the U.S. illegally. . . .

WASHINGTON—Today, in a major victory, a Florida federal district court granted summary judgment to the state of Florida, vacating the Biden policy of catching and paroling illegal aliens. The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) had filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case urging that result.

The administration claimed in this case that it has unbounded discretion about whether to detain and deport illegal aliens, and so its policy of simply not enforcing the law cannot be reviewed by a court. In its brief, IRLI showed that, in fact, Congress very clearly and sharply limited the administration’s discretion when it mandated that illegal aliens be detained and removed from the country. . . .

A federal judge in Florida struck down the Biden administration's unregulated and broad use of parole in order to mass-release illegal aliens into the interior of the United States. Judge T. Kent Wetherell found the administration's use of parole unlawful and accused the Biden admin. of turning the U.S./Mexico border into a "meaningless line in the sand."

WASHINGTON—Yesterday, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) submitted a friend-of-court brief in a Maryland district court in support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is being sued by aliens in a case putting at issue whether immigration law should be rewritten by the court in a way that would provide a large incentive for marriage fraud.

The plaintiffs are a class of aliens who have been given final orders of removal but still seek to stay in the country. The aliens, who had married U.S. citizens at some point but never received green cards on that basis, seek to have the execution of their removal orders suspended so they can apply for certain discretionary relief without being arrested and deported while applying for that relief. If they are deported, they will have to wait years before they can return. If they apply for and are granted the discretionary relief, they still will have to leave the country, but will be able to return more quickly. . . . Read more about The Marriage Maneuver

The following statement was issued by Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to Wednesday’s ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit declaring the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to be unlawful:

“Yesterday, the Fifth Circuit correctly upheld a federal district judge’s ruling that the Obama-era DACA program is unlawful. Presidents do not have the authority to exempt entire classes of immigration lawbreakers from enforcement, or provide them with authorization to work in the United States, when federal statutes explicitly bar them from being here or working here.

“This ruling could not have been timelier. Building upon what we once thought was the pinnacle of unlawful executive action during the Obama administration, President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have been working around the clock to negate virtually every immigration law on the books. The end result? The worst border crisis in the history of our country with no end in sight. . . .
