BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – A federal appeals court on ruled against the Biden administration’s efforts to delay implementation of an order that requires it to reinstate the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) — yet another legal defeat for the Biden administration on immigration.
The panel of the 5th Circuit Appeals Court in New Orleans declined to stay a ruling by Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk issued last week that orders the Biden administration “to enforce and implement MPP in good faith” until it has been “lawfully rescinded” in compliance with the Administrative Procedure Act, and until the federal government has enough detention capacity to detail all migrants subject to mandatory detention.
“This pathetic decision in Louisiana obviously involves voodoo,” stated President Biden reflecting his disappointment. “Uneducated people rely on that nonsense. However, I knew that this is how they would ruled, based on my tarot cards and my weekly palm reading.”
