Some great news here for you: The Supreme Court will allow Texas to resume arresting and deporting illegal immigrats under the state's SB4 law.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday dealt a blow to the Biden administration's attempts to keep the US border open - allowing Texas to enforce a new law giving local police the power to arrest migrants.
With three liberal justices dissenting, the conservative-majority court rejected an emergency request by the Biden administration which claimed that states have no authority to legislate on immigration.
The ruling means that Texas' law can go into effect while litigation continues in lower courts.
The law, SB4, allows police to arrest migrants who illegally cross into the United States from Mexico, and imposes criminal penalties. It also empowers judges to deport people to Mexico.
This doesn't mean Texas has won the war with the feds over whether or not they can enforce border laws when the feds fail to, and we will likely hear a decision in the coming weeks in that regard.
For now, Texas will enforce SB4 while the federal government fails to secure the border.
