Related: About this forumPaxton to sue Biden Administration over building border wall
TEXAS In an announcement made Thursday, AG Ken Paxton in partnership with Missouri AG Eric Schmitt, will launch a lawsuit against the Biden Administration.
The main demand is that the government resume building the border wall, using funds already appropriated by Congress.
Paxton alleges the Biden Administration broke the law in discontinuing the building of the wall, further stating research aligns with their wall building efforts to control illegal immigration, trafficking and its costs.
Here's Paxton's full statement:
The Biden Administrations flat refusal to use funds that have already been set aside by Congress to build the border wall is not only illegal and unconstitutional. Its also wrong, and it leaves states like Texas and Missouri footing the bill, said Attorney General Paxton said. I will not sit idly by while this Administration wreaks more havoc on our state. This is my seventh border security and immigration related lawsuit against President Biden and his lawless executive agencies. I wont rest until Texas is safe from the disaster he created and the disaster he continues to investigate.
