... The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that it will allow Texas to enforce for now a contentious new law that gives local police the power to arrest migrants. The conservative-majority court, with three liberal justices dissenting, rejected an emergency request by the Biden administration, which said states have no authority to legislate on immigration, an issue the federal government has sole authority over. That means the law can go into effect while litigation continues in lower courts. It could still be blocked at a later date. "The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos," liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also objected to the decision. ...

I would imagine they can only arrest those newcomers that haven't been processed.
Meaning the newcomer avoided BP, aka got away.
As has been mentioned before if they are going through asylum process, they aren't here illegally.
Also, the newcomers have 1yr to report for asylum.
I am not sure how Texas can enforce the law.

I think it's great that Abbott wants responsibility for the border. He can't find his ass with two hands, and that's going to show.

Cut Texas in half horizontally. Put a border around lower Texas. Withdraw all Federal border control, asylum courts, ports of entry, etc. from the Texas/Mexico border. Reroute all trade through New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Build the required infrastructure.
I can dream, at least...

Pull Border Patrol out of Texas since Texas has taken on that responsibility.
It will save taxpayers billions of dollars.

The Supreme Court is totally corrupt. Sad day for America.

The Federal Government wasn't doing their job in the first place - "taxation without representation" Hence, why Texas had to step up.
"saying it tramples on the federal government's exclusive authority to oversee immigration issues"
The problem is, the only ting this administration was overseeing is the flood of illegal immigrants allowed in the country unchecked.
Give Texas their tax money back.

How so?
For instance what if the Texas law is just following the federal law regarding detainment?
I am not sure federal law allows catch and release.
Moody sued DHS in 2021, claiming its policy, officially known as Parole Plus Alternative to Detention, violates a U.S. law called the Immigration and Nationality Act.
So the federal government isn't following the federal law, but perhaps Texas is
How does this violate the Supremacy Clause?

@#2 ... I think it's great that Abbott wants responsibility for the border. ...
If he wants responsibility for the border, why not give it to him?
His political playing will quickly come to a halt as he then has to deal with the cost of doing so.

Texas border enforcement law again blocked in legal whiplash www.reuters.com
... A Republican-backed Texas law that would empower law enforcement authorities in the state to arrest people suspected of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border was blocked again late on Tuesday by a federal appeals court, just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court had cleared the way for it to go into effect. The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals halted enforcement of the law, reviving a federal judge's order blocking it in response to a challenge by Democratic President Joe Biden's administration. The 5th Circuit set arguments for Wednesday on whether to keep the block in place while Texas appeals it. The legal back and forth in the case has caused uncertainty about the future of the measure signed in December by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott. ... But the 5th Circuit paused Ezra's ruling in an order that would have let the law take effect on March 10, prompting the administration to file an emergency request to the Supreme Court. Justice Samuel Alito, acting for the Supreme Court, on March 4 had halted the 5th Circuit ruling - and thus the law - from taking effect, giving the justices more time to consider the matter. A 5th Circuit panel, in a 2-1 vote, on Tuesday night lifted the administrative stay ahead of arguments on whether to once again put on hold the judge's injunction while Texas pursues an appeal. The majority in the appeals court's order included Judge Priscilla Richman, an appointee of Republican former President George W. Bush, and Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez, a Biden appointee. Judge Andrew Oldham, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump, dissented. ...

And once again I say to the good folk of Texas, but please be careful what you ask for.
Think about the cost of patrolling the southern border and the costs involved, especially now that the Republican extremists in the House have blocked any improvement in the laws that govern such patrolling efforts for the only reason that fmr Pres Trump wants the border to remain a political issue.

If these law passes than each state will have their own rules for immigration. This will not work.

#23 | POSTED BY WILDMAN62 Exactly. Which is probably the plan.
Republicans are doing their best to try and prove that government does not work.
