Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration for allegedly flying illegal immigrants into Missouri. Bailey claims that the Department of Homeland Security has delayed responding to his requests for documents related to these flights, violating the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The lawsuit alleges that DHS failed to provide any notice of delay or produce any responsive records. Bailey believes that the transportation of illegal immigrants into Missouri is a matter of public concern and that citizens have a right to know the facts about these activities.
In a statement, Bailey criticized the Biden administration for attempting to hide information from Americans and accused them of using delay tactics to avoid producing legally requested documents. He has vowed to hold the federal government accountable for refusing to obey the law. This lawsuit is just one in a series of legal actions taken by Bailey and other states against the Biden administration over border-related issues.
Missouri previously joined an 18-state coalition in filing a suit against the administration’s proposed new policies that allow vast numbers of aliens to enter the country and receive instant work authorization and access to public benefits. Bailey has been vocal in his criticism of President Biden, accusing him of failing to uphold his responsibilities at the border. This latest lawsuit is part of Bailey’s efforts to challenge the administration’s immigration practices and ensure transparency and accountability in the handling of illegal immigrants.
