Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt have filed a lawsuit against President Joe Biden for halting the construction of border wall along the United States-Mexico border.

On Thursday, Paxton and Schmitt dropped a lawsuit against Biden accusing the administration of unlawfully canceling border wall projects that were funded by Congress. Since taking office, Biden has repeatedly canceled border wall projects despite their being approved and funded by Congress.

An analysis from July found that the administration had wasted $2 billion in American taxpayer money to not continue constructing border wall. The lawsuit states:

This Complaint focuses on the President of the United States’ refusal to spend funds appropriated by Congress mandating the construction of a wall along the southwest border, and the Department of Homeland Security’s termination of contracts to perform work on construction projects to build the wall.

In 2018, DHS assessed the effectiveness of physical barriers on the southwest border in controlling illegal immigration and drug trafficking, and proclaimed: “Walls Work. When it comes to stopping drugs and illegal aliens from crossing our borders, walls have proven extremely effective.” DHS noted that border wall construction in one sector led to a 90 percent decrease in border apprehensions. [Emphasis added]

DHS has previously recognized the importance of the construction of the southwest border wall. Among other things, DHS’s prior assessment concluded that “Walls Work,” that border walls are highly effective in deterring and preventing illegal immigration and illegal drug trafficking across the southwest border, and that the construction of border barriers on the southwest border led to a 90 percent reduction in border apprehensions in the Yuma region in particular. [Emphasis added]

Discontinuing that construction through the January 20 Proclamation (and subsequent implementation by DHS) represents a sharp departure from DHS’s previous policy, and it constitutes a final agency action subject to judicial review. Among other things, the President’s Proclamation and DHS’s statements make clear beyond any possible doubt that DHS has no intention of expending a single penny of appropriated money for Congress’s stated purpose of actual “construction of barrier system along the southwest border.” [Emphasis added]

According to the lawsuit, Biden’s administration failed to “consider the costs of ending construction of the southwest border wall to the States.”

“It transparently failed to do so, having made its decision without seeking input from Texas and Missouri and without inquiring about the costs Texas and Missouri bear from illegal immigration,” the lawsuit states:

DHS failed to consider the States’ reliance interests in securing the southwest border. The Supreme Court in Regents required DHS to consider reliance interests, including States’ reliance interests, especially when it “changes course[.]” Here, DHS simply did not consider any of Missouri’s or Texas’ reliance interests, such as increased costs for providing social services, rendering DHS’s actions arbitrary and capricious. [Emphasis added]

The lawsuit asks, among other things, for the court to hold that Biden’s termination of border wall projects was unlawful and require the administration to spend appropriated funds on border wall construction, as it was intended by Congress.

“The Biden Administration’s flat refusal to use funds that have already been set aside by Congress to build the border wall is not only illegal and unconstitutional,” Paxton said in a statement. “It’s also wrong, and it leaves states like Texas and Missouri footing the bill.”

The case is Missouri v. Biden, No. 6:21-cv-00052 in United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Poll: Border Wall Wins Support from Working Class Whites, 4-in-10 Hispanics

Most white working class Americans, as well as many Hispanic Americans, support building a wall along the United States-Mexico border to prevent illegal immigration, a new poll finds.

A Quinnipiac Poll released this week shows that 59 percent of white non-college-educated Americans support continuing to build a border wall, while only 34 percent oppose the plan. Meanwhile, white college-educated Americans oppose a border wall by a 55 percent majority.

White American men support a border wall by a wide margin of 63 percent to only 33 percent opposition. Likewise, American men, regardless of race, support a border wall by a 53 percent majority.

Though a majority of Hispanics said they oppose a border wall, 53 percent – about 4-in-10 – said they support building a wall along the border — a key demographic opening for candidates running on reducing overall immigration to the U.S.

The poll also underscored that building a physical wall, not one made of technological devises as previously proposed by establishment Republicans, is a mainstream GOP policy position. Ninety-one percent of Republicans said they support a border wall, while just seven percent said they oppose it.

Swing voters, similarly, are largely split on the issue, but a plurality, 48 percent, said they support a wall along the border.

The poll comes as President Joe Biden’s administration has wasted $2 billion in American taxpayer money, as of July, to not continue building border wall to prevent illegal immigration. Even in cases where Congress has specifically authorized funding to build a border wall, Biden’s administration has cancelled the construction contracts.

Like past government funding bills, the latest spending measure by Democrats would shift previously allocated border wall funds to agencies other than the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to ensure the money cannot be spent on border wall.

The Quinnipiac Poll surveyed more than 1,300 U.S. adults from Oct. 15 to Oct. 18. and has a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points.

VIDEO: Cartel Gunmen Kill 6 Outside Bar in Western Mexico

Cartel gunmen pulled up to a bar in western Mexico and began shooting into the crowd, killing six — including a suspected cartel figure and several bar employees. Two more victims sustained gunshot injuries.

The shooting took place early Monday in Morelia, Michoacan, when at least two gunmen riding in a white van pulled up to La 25 Cerveceria. The gunmen got out of the vehicle and fired shots into the crowd. Local police responded to the scene and were able to provide first aid to some, but did not clash with the gunmen before they fled. Authorities found more than 50 bullet casings. Michoacan’s top security official, Alejandro Gonzalez Cussi, has initially framed the incident as a cartel dispute.

One of the fatal victims was identified as Juan Rios Rebollo, a cartel operator who claimed to have built his wealth from selling yogurt. At the scene of the shooting, authorities seized Rios’ green Lamborghini, a vehicle he called “Sergeant.” A second murder victim, Oscar David Mendez, was identified as a state police officer and a bodyguard for former Michoacan Governor Silvano Aureoles Conejo.

Michoacan continues to be ground zero for a fierce turf war between Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) and smaller groups collectively called Carteles Unidos which include remnants of La Familia, Los Viagras, and smaller cartels who claim to be self-defense groups. Carteles Unidos receives support from the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the fiercest rivals of the CJNG.

Bomb Threat Targets Mexican Border City Hall near Texas

Matamoros Bomb Threat (1)

A bomb threat called in to Matamoros City Hall caused widespread panic and set off a large security operation as officials tried to find a device. Authorities did not find anything, however, cartel gunmen have set off grenades and other explosives near the building in recent years.

The case took place on Tuesday morning when authorities received a 911 call about an explosive device inside Matamoros City Hall. Authorities gave a large-scale security response where they blocked off the main downtown square and evacuated the building. A military bomb squad searched for devices.

Mayor Mario “La Borrega” Lopez was inside the building at the time and was forced to make a quick exit with his staff. The city leader tried to downplay the incident once outside the perimeter.

After several minutes, authorities were not able to find an explosive device and employees were instructed to return to work.

The bomb threat comes days after Matamoros experienced major shootouts on the western side of the city where several cartel gunmen died and authorities sustained injuries. Those shootouts were tied to the Gulf Cartel, an organization undergoing an internal rift for control of local drug trafficking and human smuggling turf. Members are also linked to a new rise in armed robberies, extortion, and kidnapping to supplement income.

1600 Migrants Apprehended in Southern Arizona over Weekend

Yuma, Arizona, is fast becoming the newest hotspot among southwest Border Patrol Sectors in Fiscal Year 2022. In all, between Friday and Sunday, human smugglers moved more than 1,600 migrants into the area.

Most of the migrants are from Mexico and the Central American northern triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. The remainder are from a host of nations including 13 from nations the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) considers “special interest.”

The DHS notes:

Generally, an SIA is a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests.  Often such individuals or groups are employing travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism.  DHS analysis includes an examination of travel patterns, points of origin, and/or travel segments that are tied to current assessments of national and international threat environments.

This classification is reserved for all nationals of that country and does not mean that all SIAs are terrorists. SIAs differ from those migrants DHS considers “Known and Suspected Terrorists” (KST) from the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB), the U.S. Government’s consolidated database maintained by the Department of Justice.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, the Yuma Sector is facing a surge in migrant traffic compared to years past and is closing in on the Del Rio Sector. The source says that only a small minority of the migrants apprehended in Yuma are being expelled to Mexico under the Trump era Title 42 COVID-19 authority.

Of the more than 12,000 migrants apprehended in Yuma since October 1, a federal source says less than 600 were swiftly expelled to Mexico under the emergency order. More than 11,000 were processed under traditional legal pathways allowing the migrant family units and unaccompanied migrants to pursue asylum.

The source says most are released into the United States as they await the adjudication process.

Four Cartel Gunmen Die in Mexican Border City Shootout near Texas

Matamoros Shooting 2

Four cartel gunmen died and five law enforcement officials sustained injuries during a fierce weekend clash in the Mexican border city of Matamoros. The shootout comes as the city has seen a spike in cartel-related violence.

The shootout began when gunmen from the Gulf Cartel set up makeshift roadblocks on the city’s west side as they tried to hijack a tractor-trailer, Tamaulipas authorities revealed. State police officers responded to the scene and clashed with the gunmen. Two officers sustained minor injuries and the gunmen managed to escape in SUVs.

The state cops called for backup from military forces who joined the search and even used a navy helicopter for air cover. Military forces managed to track down the convoy of cartel gunmen to the western side of the city near the Puerto Rico neighborhood. There, the forces clashed with the gunmen.

Locals shopping at an open-air market were forced to run and seek cover as the gunmen exchanged fire with the military.
During the shootout, some gunmen managed to run and hide inside a house. There, the gunmen held the residents at gunpoint and stole a vehicle to escape. The Matamoros faction of the Gulf Cartel is the same group behind a massacre in Reynosa this past summer where they killed 15 innocent bystanders. The two main factions of the Gulf Cartel are fighting an internal turf war for smuggling corridors into south Texas.
