    Sixteen Republican state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration in district court Friday, seeking to halt the implementation of a policy that expands amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the United States. The motion states that the Democrats “[have] yet again attempted to create [their] own immigration system,” instead of following the Constitution. The policy, which in part grants citizenship to spouses of Americans, started rolling out this week.

    via the NYT:

    The filing read:

    The DHS also responded on Friday to the suit:

    White House spokesman Angelo Fernández Hernández said in a statement: 

    The Biden-Harris amnesty plan, which Biden announced on June 18, as my colleague Nick Arama wrote, would cover around a million illegal immigrants. But as she asked at the time, “By what legal authority does he have to take such action?” It’s likely the Supreme Court will have an answer on that in due course, along with other suits, over the administration’s failure to keep American citizens safe, making their way through the nation’s courts.

    This is a breaking story. RedState will bring you more details as they become available.
