On Tuesday, Ashley Moody, the Attorney General of Florida said that she is taking legal action against the Biden administration because of their âegregiousâ immigration regulations, which she says go against federal law.
âIâve been speaking for weeks now and alerting Americans to the fact that this administration is thumbing its nose to its responsibilities under federal law. It is required to deport criminal aliens that are here illegally and it is just saying weâre not going to do it anymore,â she told Fox News.
Moody went on to say that the Biden administration canceled a national operation that aimed at bringing to justice illegal aliens that committed sex crimes.
âFirst, they canceled Operation Talon, which targeted sex offenders here in the United States illegally and now theyâve released guidance, which is basically releasing into our streets serious criminal offenders.â
Last week, former acting director of ICE Thomas Homan wrote in an Epoch Times commentary article that he is âin possession of another email that canceled a planned sexual predator operation last month.â
He explained that he believes the âanti-border leftâ would never be able to outright abolish ICE, but rather aims at crippling the agency through defunding.
âAs I predicted, immigration enforcement has been cut by more than $300 million, mostly in detention funding and transportation costs,â wrote Homan.
âOn Feb. 3, another email went out to the field shutting down national Operation Talon, that sought to arrest at-large illegal aliens with sex crime convictions to include child molestation.â
âThousands of investigative hours go into planning for these operations from identifying targets, to locating them, to ensuring appropriate coordination with other law enforcement entities,â he added.
Former President Donald Trumpâs efforts to create an office dedicated to fighting sex trafficking had made an âincredible impactâ over the past four years, according to the founder of a nonprofit organization focused on combating child sex trafficking.
Moody said that dangerous criminals are being released back into Florida and that her team will hold the Biden administration responsible.
âTheyâre canceling retainers and requiring our law enforcement leaders to release them back into our state. And this includes heroin traffickers, people that are breaking into homesâyou know use of a firearm with some of these felonies.â
âI mean it is unbelievable, the folks that arenât law enforcement leaders are required to release. My frustration has boiled over and weâre going to hold them accountable in federal court.â
