Advancing American Freedom released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled that Texas is allowed to enforce the law and Texas police can arrest and deport illegal aliens.
“The Supreme Court’s ruling is just common sense; states must be allowed to enforce the law and arrest illegal aliens that cross the border illegally,” said AAF Executive Director Paul Teller. “President Biden’s open border policy has been a disaster for Texas and for the rest of the country and it is a disgrace that enforcing the law had to rise to the level of the Supreme Court. Because of the Left’s refusal to enforce the law the burden has fallen on Texas to do the job of the administration to protect the border.”

Advancing American Freedom led an amicus brief with over 20 other amici in KC Transport v. Secretary of Labor, a case in which Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has claimed that KC Transport, a trucking company, is a mine because its trucks sometimes transport coal, and in which the D.C. Circuit Court applied its own version of Chevron Deference by giving the agency the opportunity to reinterpret the statutory language without any requirement that it come to a new or more accurate interpretation.
“Trucks are not mines and truckers are not miners,” said J. Marc Wheat, AAF General Counsel. “This case is one of many in which Chevron Deference has eroded the constitutionally mandated separation of powers by allowing agencies to exercise both legislative and judicial power, largely unchecked by the judiciary. Advancing American Freedom eagerly awaits the Supreme Court’s overruling of its unconstitutional Chevron doctrine which has enabled the expansion of the administrative state at the expense of constitutional separation of powers, a bulwark of liberty.”

Advancing American Freedom Founder Vice President Mike Pence issued the following statement after the House passed legislation that would force TikTok to cut ties with the Chinese Communist Party.
“TikTok is digital fentanyl for America’s youth, and can be used as a technological weapon by the Chinese Communist Party, its potency was already witnessed in TikTok’s campaign to prevent this legislation from passing,” said AAF Founder Mike Pence. “Passage of this legislation demonstrates that appeasement to Communist China is over, allowing TikTok to continue operating in the United States while under CCP control is simply unacceptable. The Senate must take up this legislation as soon as possible and send to President Biden’s desk. AAF will never falter in our commitment to confronting China at home and abroad, the American government must not falter now.”
