   Florida's lawsuit against the Biden administration over its so-called   
   "catch-and-release" policy advanced Wednesday, with a federal judge   
   saying that Biden's policies have turned the southern border into   
   "little more than a speedbump" for illegal immigrants.   
      
   Cut!   
      
   Wetherell's order states that the Biden administration has "adopted and   
   are implementing policies that contravene explicit mandates and   
   restrictions in the immigration statutes and that the policies have   
   effectively turned the southern border into little more than a   
   speedbump for the hundreds of thousands of aliens who have flooded   
   across the border into the country since January 2021 and the thousands   
   more who are arriving at the border daily."   
      
   Wetherell wrote that the court was unconvinced that the Biden   
   administration has "unfettered discretion to determine how (or if) to   
   comply with the immigration statutes and that there is nothing that   
   Florida or this Court can do about their policies even if they   
   contravene the immigration statutes."   
      
   He called the Biden administration's policy "as remarkable as it is   
   wrong" because no one is above the law, including the president.   
      
   "Thus, if Florida’s allegations that Defendants are essentially   
   flaunting the immigration laws are proven to be true, the Court most   
   certainly can (and will) do something about it," the judge's opinion   
   continues.
