Missouri AG Sues Biden Admin For Info On “Illegals”

Via press release from Missouri AG Andrew Bailey:

Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit against the Biden Administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for failing in its legal obligation to fulfill a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request asking for documents and communications regarding the transportation of illegal immigrants into Missouri.

“Once again, the Biden Administration is trying to stonewall and circumvent every aspect of the law in order to hide information from Americans,” said Attorney General Bailey.

“Their most recent refusal to provide the truth about the flying of illegal immigrants into Missouri is just the tip of the iceberg. It reflects a larger pattern of deploying delay and diversion tactics to avoid producing documents legally requested under FOIA. Here in Missouri, we hold bad actors accountable when they refuse to obey the law, even the federal government. I will not stop until I obtain answers for Missourians.”

Read the full press release. As I noted here yesterday, Bailey has filed numerous lawsuits against the Biden administration in recent months in order to bolster his reelection bid and outdo fellow Republican AG Ken Paxton.
