Florida State Government Files Lawsuit Against the Biden Administration for its Disastrous Immigration Measures

On September 28, 2021  the state of Florida filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration for its immigration policy, which it believes is illegal. That same day Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an order preventing state agencies from aiding with the relocation of illegal aliens arriving in the state. 

DeSantis’ order granted the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Florida Highway Patrol the power “to detain any aircraft, bus, or other vehicle within the State of Florida reasonably believed to be transporting illegal aliens to Florida from the Southwest Border”.

In addition, DeSantis ordered the agencies to collect information on the identities of any illegal aliens entering Florida who originally came from the Mexican border. In addition, he instructed state agencies to not spend money helping those immigrants unless they are required to do so per state law.

“While some arriving migrants have legitimate asylum claims, many do not. Some are gang members and drug traffickers exploiting the crisis at the border, as evidenced by the skyrocketing amount of Fentanyl seized at the border this year,” the suit stated.
