The Justice Department appeared surprised by the ruling and timing.
In February, the Justice Department asked the Texas Southern District Court for a continuance in the Cavazos case, citing Mr Biden s proclamation. Judge Alvarez extended the case into April. DOJ sought continuances in pending cases, including in this case, in which the government had previously filed motions for possession of land on the southwest border, a Justice Department official said in a statement to CNN. Immediately before yesterday s court hearing, which had been reset from February 16 to April 13 due to the proclamation, the judge granted the Department s motion for possession that was originally filed in 2020.

Biden promised to stop seizing border wall land. His DOJ is still doing it.
The administration is past a self imposed 60-day deadline to review resources for the wall. And it’s still taking land for it.
Despite President Joe Biden’s promise to quickly reverse Trump’s immigration policies, he has yet to act on many of them from failing to increase the cap on refugees to rescinding a ban on most migrants at the southern border.

Nearly three months into office, Joe Biden’s administration is seizing land near the southern border, fueling fears that the government will continue building one the most enduring symbols of Donald Trump’s presidency: a border wall.
Federal Judge Orders Private Land on Border Can Be Taken for Wall

Judge Micaela Alvarez of the Texas Southern District Court ruled the federal government can take “immediate possession” of a Texas family’s land along the southern border. The Trump administration began trying to claim the Cavazos family’s land years ago, leading them to fight to keep their land that’s been passed down for generations. “We’re hardworking Hispanic landowners. To my family, you can offer whatever, it’s more important for them to save their land,” said Baudilla “Lily” Cavazos Rodriquez. The government is typically allowed to take private land for public use. Cavazos Rodriguez thought the case would be dropped when Biden took office and terminated wall construction. CNN
