The Biden regime’s efforts to keep the southern border wide open have hit another snag after the Supreme Court ruled that Texas is free to enforce a new law giving local police the power to arrest migrants.
The conservative-majority court rejected an emergency request by the Biden regime to bar the new law, arguing that states have no authority to legislate on immigration. Three liberal Supreme Court justices agree, having dissented on the ruling.
SB4, as the new Texas law is called, allows law enforcement throughout the Lone Star State to arrest migrants who illegally cross into the United States from Mexico. From there, police are allowed to impose criminal penalties, including deportation back to Mexico at a judge’s order.
“Texas is the nation’s first-line defense against transnational violence and has been forced to deal with the deadly consequences of the federal government’s inability or unwillingness to protect the border,” Texas argued in its court filing.
🚨🚨 HUGE WIN: Texas has defeated the Biden Administration’s and ACLU’s emergency motions at the Supreme Court. Our immigration law, SB 4, is now in effect. As always, it’s my honor to defend Texas and its sovereignty, and to lead us to victory in court.
