U.S. Supreme Court debates migrant expulsion policy

The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing on Tuesday (11/29/2022) the Joe Biden government’s policy on the deportation of irregular migrants, which gives priority to those who pose a threat to the country’s security.

The Democratic President’s government directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in September 2021 to focus on foreigners who pose a threat (terrorists or criminals) or who have recently entered the United States.

It is estimated that more than 11 million migrants live in the United States in an irregular situation. and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “does not have the resources to apprehend and expel each of these non-citizens,” Alejandro Majorcas, head of that portfolio, said at the time.


These principles are very different from those of former Republican President Donald Trump’s administration, which advocated the expulsion of everyone, whether or not they were integrated into society.

fierce opposition

But Joe Biden’s new immigration slogans, like all those he uses in this area, have faced fierce opposition from Republican-led states who claim that means increased spending on education, police and social services.

Some of these states have challenged them in court, which has delivered conflicting verdicts.

Until a federal judge in Texas blocked new immigration rules from Joe Biden’s government in June before going to the Supreme Court to enforce them.

In July, the Supreme Court refused to issue an urgent decisionwhich left the slogans dead letter, but he agreed to examine the case on the merits, which he will do on Tuesday morning during a hearing in Washington.

After hearing the arguments of the federal government and the state of Texas, he will issue a verdict before the end of June.
