The administration informed the court it intends to appeal a federal judge’s ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Biden Justice Department sought an emergency order Saturday allowing it to continue releasing illegal aliens into the United States, a policy a federal judge blocked as the crisis at the southern border escalated with thousands of new migrants taking advantage of the lifting of the Title 42 policy.
DOJ attorneys asked the U.S. District Court in in Florida to stay Judge T. Kent Wetherell II's two-week restraining order on the Biden administration policy
The administration informed the court that it intends to appeal Wetherell’s ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Biden administration’s policy was described in a Border Patrol memo this week, saying that migrants can be allowed into the country on parole if CBP is facing overcrowding. The parole process is typically reserved for "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.”
The administration argues that the restraining order on its parole policy will "irreparably harm the United States and the public by frustrating measures that are necessary to secure the border and protect the health and welfare of both migrants and Border Patrol Agents," the filing states.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody argued in the state’s lawsuit that the "parole with conditions" policy was materially identical to a policy blocked by Wetherell in March, and he agreed with that assessment in his order.
Wetherell was not persuaded by the government's arguments that blocking migrant releases will cause harm.
"Putting aside the fact that even President Biden recently acknowledged that the border has been in chaos for 'a number of years,' Defendants' doomsday rhetoric rings hollow because, as explained in detail in Florida, this problem is largely one of Defendants' own making through the adoption an implementation of policies that have encouraged the so-called 'irregular migration' that has become fairly regular over the past 2 years," he wrote.
