Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is filing a lawsuit against the Biden administration for reportedly flying illegal immigrants to Missouri.
Bailey told Fox News Digital he is filing a lawsuit against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for refusing to turn over documents related to flying illegal immigrants into Missouri.
“We have reason to believe they are deliberately flying illegal aliens from the border into our cities. Not on my watch,” Bailey wrote in a post on X.
In his lawsuit that he shared exclusively with Fox News Digital, Bailey says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has intentionally delayed responding to his request for the documents about the flights to Missouri.
“This game of ‘hide and seek’ violates the spirit and the letter of FOIA, which states that an agency shall withhold information only when the agency ‘reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by an exemption’ or if ‘disclosure is prohibited by law’,” the lawsuit reads.
“DHS’s withholding of crucial information has frustrated the ability of citizens to exercise the rights Congress outlined in the FOIA statute. This lack of transparency and refusal to comply with lawful FOIA demands has hindered efforts by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office to determine the size and scope of illegal immigration within the Show Me state,” the lawsuit continued.
