Tuberville pushes bill to force Mayorkas to secure border, allow states to sue him if he doesn't
Fox News
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., will introduce a measure to force Homeland Security Sec. Mayorkas to suspend the entry of illegal immigrants should operational control of the border be lost.
The measure would authorize the Homeland Security secretary to suspend the entry of illegal immigrants at the U.S. border should the secretary determine it is necessary to do so in order to regain operational control of the border and requires the DHS secretary to suspend the entry of illegal immigrants during any period of time in which the department cannot detain such individuals or place them in Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) or a similar program.

Additionally, the bill, should it pass, authorize to state attorneys general to bring legal action against DHS should the secretary not follow the guidelines set forth by the measure.
