States Sue Biden Over Federal Orders and ACA Rule

Mississippi and eight other states are suing the Biden administration to block Executive Order 14019, claiming it oversteps federal authority and promotes partisan voter registration strategies. The plaintiffs argue the order, which mandates federal agencies to develop plans to expand voter registration, was created without proper public notice and is driven by left-wing groups. Separately, fifteen states have filed a lawsuit against a new rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that allows DACA recipients to access benefits under the Affordable Care Act, arguing it violates federal law and encourages illegal immigration. Both lawsuits highlight ongoing tensions between Republican-led states and the Biden administration over perceived federal overreach and partisan policy implementation.
