(John Moore/Getty Images) The states of Texas and Missouri filed a motion on Thursday seeking a court order to force the Biden administration to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, accusing the administration of having ignored the Supreme Court’s order last month to do so.
The motion ( pdf ) filed late Thursday accuses the administration of having stalled in its efforts to enforce the MPP program.
“The Biden Administration’s refusal to follow the law has created chaos at our border. Our officers are working endlessly to try to manage the crisis that is overwhelming our state,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement .
The policy, also commonly known as “Remain in Mexico,” requires some people seeking asylum to stay in Mexico while they await immigration proceedings in the United States.
The program was launched in January 2019 under the Trump administration. Mark Morgan, who was acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection at the time, told The Epoch Times that the MPP was “the most significant game-changer” and largely responsible for a 75 percent drop in illegal crossings.
President Joe Biden had ordered the MPP program to be suspended in January, on his first day in office.
Texas and Missouri subsequently sued the administration, culminating in a Supreme Court order in August that declined to intervene in stopping an injunction ordering the Biden administration to reinstate the MPP program.

“I have already sued this administration and won—yet they still think they are above the law and can continue shirking their responsibilities,” Paxton said in his statement. “It’s time to stop the Biden Administration from acting outside of federal law. They have created this crisis by inviting illegal aliens to come into our country unlawfully.”
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a statement : “If the Biden Admin won’t act to secure the border, we will.”The Biden administration earlier this week asked a federal appeals court to lift the injunction, ordered by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
