The Department of Justice (DOJ) warned Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) it will sue Texas if he enforces a new state law that allows for the prosecution and deportation of migrants entering the U.S. from Mexico, according to a letter obtained by The Hill.
Abbott signed the legislation earlier this month, citing the increased number of migrant encounters at the U.S. southern border.
The law, set to take effect March 5, allows any Texas law enforcement officer to arrest those suspected of illegal entry into the country. Once arrested, migrants must either agree to a judge’s order to leave the U.S. or face misdemeanor charges of illegal entry.

This might mean something if the federal government was actually DOING ANYTHING.
I think will need to allow for city states that are fully independent except for their required demilitarization and Irish Free State-type national debt payoff.
They could tax, murder their babies and make foreigners their citizens and voters as they please.
Agreed. Was extremely telling when they couldn’t find the votes to impeach Mayorkas.
“.... and you continue to do very little”
Maybe hold some of your fire until Trump is president ... maybe not.
I suggest Texas shut down all roads going to the Ports of Entry
Great observation!
None dare call it treason but that is exactly what it is. Texas should tell the feds to pack sand.
Are you telling me that Texas has to let anyone come into their state and they can’t do anything. We know that’s ridiculous.
March 5, about 70 days — how many more can enter in that time?
Saw this coming... Illegal to protect your state and country from the world.
OK, Texas threatens to sue DOJ for non-enforcement of border law...
Bring it.
Do what the left does when they don’t like a decision, completely ignore it.
Sorry, Merrick, you don’t have standing
The second you call up the National Guard, they can be Federalized by law and put to whatever use the Feds want. That’s part of the problem.
The Supreme Court has also said that states may not in any way enforce Federal immigration law.
Standing up to the Feds in the way you propose will only get the entire state government raided and arrested. At this point, they CAN actually put all of them in jail. Just ask all the J6 people they are *still* tracking down and imprisoning.
How about we do it in smarter ways that are difficult for the Feds to do anything about, hm?
They already did that in the Obama years - the highway money mysteriously didn’t make it to Texas...
HOW LONG BEFORE TEXAS ANNOUNCES IT IS SECEDING???
HOW MANY STATES WILL JOIN THEM???
The Soros/Obama/Biden administration is determine to destroy this Republic and and replace it with the One World Government the UN/Soros/Democrats administrations is pushing for.
If the law is enforced???
The state law and the federal law???We couldn't make this stuff up, folks!The US Department of Justice is going to sue one of the states for enforcing the law?????The Justice Department is siding with criminals against law enforcement?????
