Texas attorney general touts deportation case dismissal as 'big win'

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton celebrated a federal court’s dismissal of his immigration lawsuit against the Biden administration as a win, saying the result will restore immigration law.

Paxton touted the Thursday dismissal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas as a legal victory, arguing that the suit was no longer necessary because “the object of all [his] claims, the 100-day pause on the removal of aliens already subject to a final order of removal, previously enjoined by the Court, has expired.”
