PHOENIX (AP) The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has terminated an unusual agreement that Arizona s top prosecutor signed with the agency in the waning days of the Trump administration to try to restrict President Joe Biden s ability to overhaul his predecessor s immigration policies.
The agency s action was revealed Wednesday as Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, sued to stop newly confirmed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas from carrying out Biden s 100-day moratorium on deportations. A federal judge in Texas has already put it on hold. Arizona s law enforcement community is particularly concerned that aliens who have been charged or convicted of crimes will be released as a result of DHS s 100-day moratorium, Brnovich said in the federal lawsuit.

âMind Bogglingâ and âDeadly.â This Is the Trump V.A.âs Racist Legacy.
âIt needs to be cleaned up right away,â one employee said. Will Denis McDonough, Bidenâs pick for V.A. secretary, help repair whatâs broken?
