The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Texas to begin enforcing a law that gives local police the power to arrest suspected illegal border crossers. This decision comes after the court issued a stay on the law on Monday. The Biden administration and human rights groups are hoping to challenge the law's constitutionality in appeals court.
The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas on Tuesday to begin enforcing a law that gives local police power to arrest people they suspect of crossing the border illegally. This is a change of direction from Monday when the court issued an indefinite stay on the law known as Senate Bill 4. The Biden administration and human rights groups had hoped to keep enforcement of the law from happening while they argue the case in appeals court. They want a court to rule the law unconstitutional.
Lawmakers in Texas who passed the law say the legislation is necessary to stop illegal border crossings. The Biden administration is suing to strike down the measure, arguing it’s a clear violation of federal authority that would hurt international relations and create chaos in administering immigration law. Texas has argued it has a right to take action over what Gov. Greg Abbott has described as an "invasion" of migrants on the border. Opponents have called the law, known as Senate Bill 4, the most dramatic attempt by a state to police immigration since an Arizona law more than a decade ago, portions of which were struck down by the Supreme Court. Critics have also said the Texas law could lead to civil rights violations and racial profiling. A federal judge in Texas struck down the law in late February, but the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals quickly stayed that ruling, leading the federal government to appeal to the Supreme Court
