Wyoming Joins Lawsuit Challenging Biden Administration’s Border Policy

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon announced Thursday that Wyoming is among the states joining a lawsuit filed by Arizona, Missouri and Louisiana challenging the Biden Administration’s revocation of Title 42 border control measures. The Trump-era border policies helped reduce the flow of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border.

Last fall Governor Gordon visited the southern border and joined 25 other governors in releasing ten policy solutions that the Biden Administration could enact immediately to address the crisis at the southern border. Among those solutions was a continuation of the Title 42 orders, an effective tool at limiting border crossings and supporting public health. Gordon said when the federal government does not fulfill its responsibilities, states are compelled to take legal action to protect their residents from the impacts of this border crisis and Wyoming will stand by our fellow states to protect our borders.
