The Justice Department appeared surprised by the ruling and timing.
In February, the Justice Department asked the Texas Southern District Court for a continuance in the Cavazos case, citing Mr Biden s proclamation. Judge Alvarez extended the case into April. DOJ sought continuances in pending cases, including in this case, in which the government had previously filed motions for possession of land on the southwest border, a Justice Department official said in a statement to CNN. Immediately before yesterday s court hearing, which had been reset from February 16 to April 13 due to the proclamation, the judge granted the Department s motion for possession that was originally filed in 2020.

Judge Micaela Alvarez of the Texas Southern District Court ruled the federal government can take “immediate possession” of a Texas family’s land along the southern border. The Trump administration began trying to claim the Cavazos family’s land years ago, leading them to fight to keep their land that’s been passed down for generations. “We’re hardworking Hispanic landowners. To my family, you can offer whatever, it’s more important for them to save their land,” said Baudilla “Lily” Cavazos Rodriquez. The government is typically allowed to take private land for public use. Cavazos Rodriguez thought the case would be dropped when Biden took office and terminated wall construction. CNN
