Are Deportations to Haiti Merely Flights of Fancy?

As President Joe Biden begins to deport Haitian migrants out of Texas, will he take the subsequent logical step and defend a federal regulation that makes it a felony for eliminated aliens to return to the U.S.?

Earlier than the mass incursion hit Del Rio, a federal district decide in Nevada struck down a bit of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which makes re-entry to the U.S. after deportation a felony offense. In keeping with Choose Miranda Du, a Barack Obama appointee, that part of regulation violates the Structure’s Equal Safety Clause.

of Biden’s airlifts out of Texas. If the White Home had been actually dedicated to
eradicating unlawful aliens, and preserving them out, wouldn’t it need the penalties
for returning to stay in pressure?

The query is considerably rhetorical, given Group Biden’s dismal enforcement file.
