Biden administration sued over sanctions for Israeli settlers

Pro-Israel advocacy groups and dual U.S.-Israeli citizens have filed a lawsuit challenging President Joe Biden's order subjecting individuals involved in settler violence in the West Bank to financial and immigration sanctions.

The complaint filed in Amarillo, Texas, federal court on Tuesday says the executive order that Biden, a Democrat, issued in February violates the plaintiffs' free-speech rights under the U.S. Constitution and illegally interferes with the exercise of their religious beliefs.
