"Tom Emmer's Controversial Stance on 2020 Election Raises Eyebrows"

Tom Emmer, a leading Republican candidate for speaker of the House, cast doubt on the 2020 presidential election by suggesting "questionable" practices and baselessly claiming that mail-in ballots may have skewed the outcome against Trump. Emmer signed an amicus brief supporting a Texas lawsuit seeking to throw out the results in swing states won by Biden. While he ultimately voted to certify the results, Emmer's comments and actions aligned with election denial rhetoric. He criticized the media for calling the race and emphasized the importance of following the process, even after results were certified. The Texas lawsuit was rejected by the Supreme Court.

Legal Challenge Looms Over Biden's Migrant Policy Allowing 200,000 Entries in 10 Months

A federal judge in Texas is reviewing the legality of a Biden administration program that has allowed over 200,000 migrants from Latin America and Haiti to enter the U.S. with American sponsors in the past 10 months. The program, which allows up to 30,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to enter the U.S. each month and apply for work permits, is facing a lawsuit from Texas and other Republican-led states seeking to shut it down. The outcome of the lawsuit will determine the fate of a key component of the Biden administration's border management strategy.

Legal Battle Begins Over Biden's Immigration Policy Allowing Migrants from 4 Countries into the US

A Texas federal courtroom is currently debating a lawsuit filed by 21 Republican-leaning states, led by Texas, seeking to stop a key portion of President Joe Biden's immigration policy that allows a limited number of people from Central America and the Caribbean to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds. The program, known as the humanitarian parole program, permits up to 30,000 individuals each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. Texas argues that the Biden administration has exceeded its authority, while immigrant rights groups defend the program as a safe pathway for desperate migrants and a means to reduce the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. The trial is expected to last two days, with a ruling to be issued at a later date.
