Biden tells governors he's eyeing executive action on immigration, seems 'frustrated' with lawyers
The White House is considering using provisions of federal immigration law, used by former President Donald Trump, to enact a crackdown at the southern border without congressional approval.
President Joe Biden's administration is exploring options to address immigration challenges, including deploying executive actions, to ease the problem on his own. However, the plans are not finalized and face legal challenges.
Biden may invoke Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which gives broad leeway to block entry of certain immigrants if it is detrimental to the national interest.
