A Texas rancher has sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and President Joe Biden, claiming that their actions have led to “the biggest influx of illegal aliens into America in our history.”
The Immigration Reform Law Institute filed the case on July 31 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of the rancher, Michael Vickers, Atascosa County, Texas, and Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of DHS, Troy Miller, the acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, Patrick J. Lechleitner, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Ur M. Jaddou, the director of Citizenship and Immigration Services, are also named as defendants.
“Defendants have adopted unlawful policies that, working together, have frustrated Congress’s purposes in the immigration laws, with full awareness of the likely consequences,” the lawsuit claims.
The court document states that Vickers, a veterinarian as well, resides with his spouse on a ranch spanning 1,000 acres in Brooks County, Texas. The lawsuit states that the ranch is situated roughly 70 miles north of the Mexican international border.
The complaint claims that “tens of thousands of illegal aliens have been released into the interior because of Defendants’ policies, who thereafter travel cross-country across the grasslands of Plaintiff’s ranch.”
