A Texas rancher, Michael Vickers, and Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe have filed a lawsuit against Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The lawsuit, filed by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), claims that current border policies have resulted in record numbers of illegal immigrants entering the United States, causing significant harm to Vickers’s ranch and other areas in Texas.

Michael Vickers, who owns a 1,000-acre ranch in Brooks County, says that the Biden-Harris government’s immigration policies have led to extensive damage to his property. According to the lawsuit, Vickers has incurred over $50,000 in fence and gate repairs due to the influx of migrants crossing his land. The complaint also mentions the environmental damage caused by trash and litter left by illegal immigrants, which has negatively impacted the food and water sources for Vickers’s livestock.

Kinney County, Atascosa County, and Kinney County are also plaintiffs in the case, seeking to halt the majority of the Biden-Harris government’s current border policies.

IRLI’s executive director, Dale Wilcox, stated that the Biden-Harris government has intentionally weakened border security to increase the number of illegal immigrants entering the country. The lawsuit contends that this is not merely a policy failure but a violation of the Constitution.

The legal action highlights the Biden-Harris government’s parole policies, which have reportedly facilitated the entry of approximately 1.2 million migrants into the U.S. since the beginning of 2023. These migrants have entered through various means, including border crossings and commercial flights, according to the lawsuit.

The plaintiffs claim illegal immigrants traversing Vickers’ ranch have caused thousands of dollars in damages and pose safety risks. The lawsuit mentions incidents where Vickers and his wife had to rely on guard dogs and carry firearms due to the presence of criminal groups among the illegals.
