Biden DOJ Ordered to Provide Data to Defend Deportation Freeze

The judge overseeing Texas’ challenge to President Joe Biden’s planned deportation freeze ordered the administration to address concerns about the early release of undocumented immigrants raised by Tucker Carlson on his Fox News show.

At a hearing Monday, U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, a Donald Trump appointee, said Biden’s Justice Department needed to provide data on how many undocumented immigrants skip removal hearings after being released early from detention. Tipton said the information would help him decide whether to grant the state’s request for a temporary restraining order against the planned 100-day deportation freeze.
