Florida's attempt to throw out Biden's new enforcement priorities has been assigned to District Judge Charlene Honeywell, an Obama appointee, and to Magistrate Judge Sean Flynn, a Trump appointee.

I cannot get over the absolute chutzpah of Florida to claim that it is irreparably harmed if Florida is required to follow its own laws and release people from prison after their sentences are completed.
The underlying thesis of the Texas and Florida lawsuits against Biden's immigration policies are that states mustn't be allowed to follow their own laws which say that people shouldn't be locked up anymore, and instead must be saved by the big daddy federal government.
