Biden administration is suing the Great State of Texas.
But not for purchasing bus tickets for anyone.
They are suing them because they are trying to protect the southern border by erecting barricades along the border, or otherwise blocking illegals from entering the country, and the Biden administration wants them to stop immediately.

Texas has until the end of today to stop blocking federal access to miles of the US-Mexico border
A migrant surge continues to overwhelm authorities at the US-Mexico border — and in US cities where many asylum-seekers are being sent.
Here are the latest developments:
The Biden administration has given Texas until the end of Wednesday to stop blocking the US Border Patrol’s access to 2.5 miles along the US-Mexico border that includes the area where a woman and two children drowned after state authorities last week barred federal agents from the zone, according to a Department of Homeland Security letter Sunday exclusively obtained by CNN.
The letter to Texas’ Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton says the state’s actions “have impeded operations” and are unconstitutional, and it cites the deaths – among the latest in the ongoing migrant crisis – near a city park abutting the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass where state authorities have erected fencing and kept out federal agents.
The Department of Homeland Security warns it will – by the end of Wednesday “refer the matter to the Department of Justice for appropriate action and consider all options available to restore Border Patrol’s access to the border” if Texas doesn’t confirm it will “cease and desist its efforts to protect the border around the Shelby Park area and remove all barriers to access to the U.S.-Mexico border,” the letter states.
Paxton on Wednesday doubled down on the state’s actions, saying, “Texas will not surrender,” in a statement issued by his office
