Border Czar Kamala Harris Hit With Lawsuit by Missouri Attorney General

Border Czar Kamala Harris got some bad news on Monday as Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that he was filing a massive lawsuit against the Biden administration for allegedly transporting illegal immigrants into the state.

The suit claims that the administration has flown illegals into the state and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has intentionally delayed responding to inquiries from Bailey.

🚨BREAKING: I am filing suit against @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for REFUSING to turn over documents about the flying of illegal immigrants into Missouri.

We have reason to believe they are deliberately flying illegal aliens from the border into our cities.

Not on my watch.

Fox News reported:

“This game of ‘hide and seek’ violates the spirit and the letter of FOIA, which states that an agency shall withhold information only when the agency ‘reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by an exemption’ or if ‘disclosure is prohibited by law’,” the lawsuit reads.

“DHS’s withholding of crucial information has frustrated the ability of citizens to exercise the rights Congress outlined in the FOIA statute. This lack of transparency and refusal to comply with lawful FOIA demands has hindered efforts by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office to determine the size and scope of illegal immigration within the Show Me state,” the lawsuit continued.

Bailey said the transportation of illegal immigrants into Missouri is a matter of public concern, and the citizens of Missouri have a right to know the facts about these alleged activities.

The lawsuit also alleges that DHS did not provide any notice that its response and/or production of documents would be delayed due to “unusual circumstances.”

Bailey has long criticized the Biden administration, filing numerous cases against the president and his flunkies.

While the litigation will undoubtedly take time, it’s a step in the right direction for Missouri to ensure as few illegal immigrants as possible reside within its borders.
