Press Release: SCOTUS Denies Emergency Petition from Biden Administration on Immigration Challenge by Idaho, Texas

By • November 16, 2024

The following press release was sent out by Attorney General Raul Labrador’s office. Press releases do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of those at the Idaho Dispatch.

[BOISE] – Attorney General Raúl Labrador announced today that the Supreme Court of the United States denied an emergency petition from the Biden Administration to rule on a controversial immigration policy known as Parole-in-Place. A U.S. District Court in Texas has already found the Administration’s actions illegal and halted the program.

“The Supreme Court stopped the Biden Administration’s latest attempt to skirt Congress and misapplyour immigration laws for political ends,” said Attorney General Labrador. “We cannot and will not abandon the moral position that the rule of law is integral to the survival of our Republic.”

The Parole-in-Place program was originally constructed to allow illegal immigrants on a case-by-case basis for “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit” to remain in the United States while their applications were being resolved. This program had been contorted by the Administration which claimed “unfettered discretion” to interpret and implement the program, allowing more than 1.3 million illegal immigrants to remain in the United States. The Administration’s actions prompted a lawsuit led by Idaho and Texas and was joined by 14 other states.

Following a decision in U.S. District Court last week which declared the Administration’s actions unconstitutional, the Administration appealed the ruling to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals which refused to stay the District Court Decision. The Administration filed an emergency petition to the Supreme Court to take this case out of the hands of the 5th Circuit.

SCOTUS denied the Administration’s request Thursday evening.

  1. Since his election to the AG position, Mr. Labrador has done nothing but shine brightly for Idaho. I fully wish that the current RINO governor and all his lackeys will be voted out…as soon as possible!
