Tell us something we don't know.

A federal judge in Texas has blocked yet another of President
Biden's major immigration policies.

Federal Judge Drew Tipton threw out a Department of Homeland
Security policy that limits who immigration authorities can
arrest and deport. In a ruling published Friday, Tipton sided
with the states of Texas and Louisiana, which argued that the
DHS guidance is preventing U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement from enforcing the law.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the
policy last year, directing immigration authorities to
prioritize serious threats to public safety and national
security, as well as recent border-crossers.

Mayorkas said that being present in the country without
authorization "should not alone be the basis" for arrest or
removal — a sharp reversal from the Trump administration, when
ICE agents and officers were free to detain anyone they
encountered who was in the country illegally.

Lawyers for the Biden administration defended the policy as a
reasonable exercise of prosecutorial discretion, and the best
way to make use of DHS's limited resources. But Tipton was not
convinced.

"The Executive Branch may prioritize its resources. But it must
do so within the bounds set by Congress," Tipton wrote. "Using
the words 'discretion' and 'prioritization,' the Executive
Branch claims the authority to suspend statutory mandates. The
law does not sanction this approach."

This is not the first time Tipton, who was appointed by former
President Trump, has ruled against the Biden administration.
Last year, he blocked President Biden's attempt to put a 100-day
moratorium on deportations. Tipton also tried to block an
earlier version of DHS's enforcement guidance last summer, but
that order was stayed on appeal.

Tipton held a bench trial earlier this year before issuing his
final ruling.

His latest decision adds to a growing list of Biden
administration immigration policies that have been blocked by
federal judges in Texas and Louisiana who were appointed to the
bench by the previous administration; that's prompted immigrant
advocates to complain of "a shadow Trump administration" that is
preventing Biden from charting his own course.

Tipton stayed his order for seven days to give the Biden
administration a chance to appeal — though the administration's
track record before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has been
mixed at best.
