Texas attorney general, Republican Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit against Biden’s decision last week on the grounds that the new administration had acted arbitrarily by not consulting the executive order in advance with the state.
Judge Drew B. Tipton of the Southern District Court in Texas suspended the national enforcement of Biden’s order on the same day he took office, Jan.20. The order issued on Tuesday said: “I prohibit the application and enforcement of the policies described in the January 20 memo entitled“ Immediate halt to a hundred days of expulsions ”.
On his first day in the White House, Biden signed a series of enforcement measures, many of them related to immigration matters, and one of them was to halt deportations “of some non-citizens who have been deported” to ensure the United States has a fair and effective immigration system.
Republicans and Trump friends in the courts
Paxton is known for its frequent defiance of democratic immigration programs. Tipton, for his part, is a judge appointed by former President Donald Trump, and a hearing is scheduled for January 28, during which the parties will have to explain their arguments.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a non-governmental organization, briefed in favor of the action by the Biden government, and asked the court to deny the request. The ACLU argued that Texas had failed to prove “irreparable harm,” a requirement for its request for a temporary restraining order to block the president’s executive order, and that this allegation was unfounded.
Huddleston stressed that “the administration’s suspension of deportations is not only legal, but is necessary to ensure that families are not separated and that people do not return to danger unnecessarily while the new administration reviews previous measures.”

First to be sworn in as Senator: In hospital
Attorney Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. became a Senator for the United States at the age of 30. It was one of the most difficult moments of his life: two weeks ago, his wife and one-year-old daughter died in a car accident. Her two sons, Bo and Hunter, are still critically injured in the hospital when Biden swore by their side on the Bible and the Constitution.

Foreign policy man
As a Senator from Delaware, he didn’t just defend his state’s concerns. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Democrat made a foreign political name for himself. In 1979, he met Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who had recently signed the historic peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, mediated by US President Jimmy Carter.

First run: short and painful
Biden made his first attempt to reach the state’s highest office in the presidential election in 1988. But several accusations of plagiarism soon surfaced against him: he took entire excerpts from speeches by other politicians without declaring them as such. When doubts arose about work from his college days, he withdrew his candidacy after just six weeks.

The long shadow of the Judicial Committee
As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee (1987-1995), Joe Biden presided over the hearings of Supreme Court candidate Clarence Thomas in 1991. Colleague Anita Hill (again pictured) accused Thomas of sexual harassment before the committee, but Biden did not respond. In 2019, prior to his running for president, Biden reluctantly apologized, according to Hale.

Second nomination: Consolation Award
Twenty years after he was first nominated, Biden (left) has once again presented himself to the Democrats as a presidential candidate. Meanwhile, he had chaired the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee several times and distinguished himself as a central man, who also managed to communicate with Republicans. Ultimately, Barack Obama (fourth from the left) becomes candidate and president, with Biden his running mate.

Obama Assistant for Foreign Affairs
President Barack Obama has used his vice president’s talents to engage with foreign partners, regardless of continent. Biden is also a multi-faith advocate. During his eight years as Vice President, he met not only with the then-president of the European Union Council, Donald Tusk (photo), but also with almost all major European politicians.

For the third time lucky
Joe Biden tried his luck again at 77. After the Democratic primary, it became clear that he, and not the Socialist and Bernie Sanders the year-old, would face Donald Trump. He was favored by the hope that a figure would offer a compromise between Democrats and Republicans as an alternative to the relentless president.

Finally in the White House
The Democrats ’calculations have worked: Biden has left his mark on American politics for nearly half a century. Now 78, his career is capped by what would be the ultimate climax for any politician. There is no president of the United States greater than you when he takes office. Perhaps this will give you the wisdom to deal with deeply divided American society.
