Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry Sues Biden Administration Over Oil and Gas Executive Order

The following was posted on the Facebook page of Attorney General Jeff Landry this afternoon:

⚡ BREAKING ⚡ TODAY, I ANNOUNCED I AM LEADING AN EFFORT OF MULTIPLE STATES TO SUE JOE BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION FOR STOPPING OIL AND GAS LEASES IN THE GULF. (Video link at bottom.)

The Biden Ban against energy directly impacts tens of thousands of hard working Louisianans, middle class jobs, and takes food of the tables of Louisiana families. Biden's actions are driving up the price Americans pay at the pump. And the Biden Ban harms our national security.

In the video below you will see several Louisiana leaders supporting this effort including:

President of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association Mike Moncla,

Lori LeBlanc who is Vice President of LMOGA (the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association) and Executive Director for the Gulf Economic Survival Team (GEST),

and Representative Blake Miguez, the Republican Leader of the Louisiana House.

We were joined by my Louisiana Solicitor General Liz Murrill.

The following states have joined my lawsuit filed this morning in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

Trump agreements seek to tie Biden's hands on immigration

Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana has joined several other states in signing an agreement that limits the new President’s executive orders regarding immigration.

During the Trump administration’s final weeks, the Department of Homeland Security quietly signed agreements with at least four states that threaten to temporarily derail President Joe Biden’s efforts to undo his predecessor’s immigration policies.

The agreements say Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas are entitled to a 180-day consultation period before executive branch policy changes take effect. The Biden administration rejects that argument on grounds that immigration is solely the federal government’s responsibility under the Constitution.

More on Landry’s actions regarding this agreement:

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Republican, signed an agreement on Dec. 15 to “stem the tide of illegal immigration,” spokesman Cory Dennis said.

“While some may attempt to blur the lines, there is a difference between legal and illegal immigration, and it is important to recognize that,” he said. “Our office will continue to be a watchdog for any changes to immigration policies that may be detrimental to the people of Louisiana.”

LAGOP Statement on Joe Biden's Pick for Vice-President

Baton Rouge, LA – Yesterday afternoon, Democrat nominee for President Joe Biden announced his running mate would be California Senator Kamala Harris. 

Sen. Harris is the left-wing political operative who sought the Democratic nomination for President last year by aligning her politics with the radical left and attacking the very same candidate on whose ticket she is now running! During her campaign, she publicly supported:

• Abolishing all private healthcare and requiring Medicare-for-All. 

• Stripping American’s of their second amendment rights through the use of executive orders.

• Passing the anti-job Green New Deal while raising taxes on the middle class.

• Decriminalizing illegal immigration and offering illegal immigrants free healthcare and other services.

She has not since renounced any of these positions; if anything, she has been emboldened since the COVID pandemic began.

The choice in November is now clearer than ever: a vote for Trump-Pence is a vote for peace and prosperity; a vote for Biden-Harris is a vote for violence, anarchy, and socialized medicine. The danger of a Biden-Harris administration is grave, and the price our country would have to pay is far too high.

Only a vote for President Trump will ensure that America’s economy will be rebuilt, our country strengthened, and our people empowered. Let’s Keep America Great!
