/1🚨EMERGENCY: A migrant crime wave has seized America.

Today, America First Legal, Ken Paxton, and 20 Attorneys General filed an urgent motion in federal court to stop Biden’s secret migrant flights depositing illegals from crime-plagued nations directly into US cities: Image
/2 On January 5, 2023, President Biden and DHS Secretary Antonio Mayorkas announced the creation of the unprecedented new program to allow 30,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to fly into the country EVERY MONTH. Image
/3 The program makes use of “parole,” which is a strictly limited authority intended to allow aliens to enter the country without a visa in emergency situations.
/4 Under the Trump administration, it was normal for the parole authority to be used a few dozen times a month.

This new program makes a mockery of the parole authority, using it to create an entirely new parallel immigration system outside the control of Congress.
/5 The program essentially creates a “visa-free” immigration program for aliens from those countries. The program required minimal vetting that is laughably lax. Program participants do not need to have a visa or even have any kind of interview with a U.S. official before being approved for travel to the USA. For example, applicants for immigrant visas are required to undergo a comprehensive medical exam to prevent the transmission of dangerous diseases. Aliens in the parole program don’t have to undergo any kind of exam.
/6 As a federal judge in Texas recently pointed out, applicants to the program are approved at a rate of 97.5%.

Thus, applicants are virtually guaranteed admission to the United States. Image
/7 The CHNV Program allows for a maximum of 30,000 aliens to use the program each month, and sure enough, the Biden administration has been taking full advantage, allowing close to 30,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to fly into the country EVERY SINGLE MONTH:Image
/8 Even worse, there is no scheduled end date for the program, and DHS consistently renews the parole status of aliens already in the United States.

So, the program essentially allows these aliens to immigrate permanently.
/9 It gets worse… as the States pointed out in their briefing to the court, aliens in parole status are immediately given work permits and are entitled to basically every kind of welfare benefit after being present for five years. The costs of the program to taxpayers are therefore going to be enormous.Image
/10 Nationals of these countries have allegedly been involved in heinous crimes in the United States, including rape and murder…keep reading.
/11 Laken Riley, an innocent 22-year-old, was on a jog in Georgia when an illegal alien from Venezuela abducted and brutally murdered her. Image
/12 A 40-year-old Nicaraguan national, who was previously deported 5x, was charged with brutally raping a disabled woman. Image
/13 A 26-year-old Haitian man was recently charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts. Image
/14 Today, we filed a motion asking the court to reconsider its erroneous decision in this critical case. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL DEFEATED Maricopa County’s attempt to hijack County Recorder Justin Heap’s election integrity lawsuit and block us from representing him.

An Arizona court fully rejected the blatant power grab.

Our lawsuit against Maricopa County will now proceed. Image
/2 After Recorder Heap chose AFL to represent him in a lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell filed another lawsuit against him, claiming that she had the right to select his attorney, and she did not want AFL to represent him.
/3 In its ruling, the Maricopa County Superior Court held that Arizona law does not give the county attorney authority to control a county officer’s legal representation.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL has BROKEN Nashville’s years-long stonewalling over the Covenant School shooter’s “manifesto.”

A Tennessee appeals court REJECTED Nashville’s attempt to withhold records related to the shooting and keep the public in the dark. Image
/2 The ruling from the Court of Appeals of Tennessee at Nashville reverses most of a lower court decision that allowed the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Metro) to withhold the shooter’s “manifesto” in full.
/3 The court’s ruling made clear that government agencies cannot rely on sweeping legal theories to justify total secrecy, and must instead conduct a record-by-record review, redacting only what is lawfully protected and releasing the rest under Tennessee’s Public Records Act.

/1💨BLOWN AWAY —

/1🏛️NEW SCOTUS BRIEF — 

AFL filed a brief on behalf of @tedcruz, @Jim_Jordan, and 26 members of Congress urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and restore the Fourteenth Amendment’s original meaning. Image
/2 AFL’s brief, filed in partnership with Boyden Gray PLLC, supports President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”
/3 Executive Order 14160 restores the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which the lower courts wrongly blocked by expanding birthright citizenship beyond what the U.S. Constitution allows.

/1🏛️NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL filed a new amicus brief after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Noem v. Al Otro Lado, a major case on whether courts can rewrite federal immigration law and block critical border security tools.

SCOTUS must reverse the Ninth Circuit’s ruling. Image
/2 AFL’s brief, filed with Boyden Gray PLLC, on behalf of U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa and U.S. Senators Ted Cruz, Ted Budd, Mike Lee, Kevin Cramer, and Josh Hawley, urges SCOTUS to reverse the Ninth Circuit’s ruling on the merits and stop a decision that would cripple border security.
/3 The Supreme Court’s decision to take the case puts this dispute on the main stage.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just sued HHS, CMS, and HRSA to expose a Biden-era DEI program that injects RACE into life-and-death organ transplants.

Race has no place in deciding who lives and who dies. Image
/2 Before leaving office, the Biden Administration overhauled the organ transplant system to advance its “racial equity” agenda, justified as a response to the “unbearable human costs of systemic racism.”
/3 Then-HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said the system was “not immune to racial inequities” and pledged to reshape transplant policy around race. Image
