The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave Texas officials permission to jail and prosecute migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization, greenlighting the enforcement of a state immigration law known as SB4 that the Biden administration has called unconstitutional.

Denying a request from the Justice Department, the high court allowed the controversial Texas law, one of Gov. Greg Abbott's signature immigration policies, to take effect while the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit considers the measure's legality.

Passed by the Texas legislature last year, SB4 criminalizes unauthorized migration at the state level, making the act of entering the U.S. outside of a port of ent

So, politics has nothing to do with state’s sanctuary city laws that thwart the legal actions of ICE to catch, detain and deport illegals? Right? But Texas enforcing any law against illegal entry, now “that’s politics”. The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.

I'm very extra confused. I thought just yesterday the USSC said they could NOT arrest illegals. Maybe they said they could not deport them?

Now I ask, what are they going to do with them when they arrest them?

I guess this is good but we now have a stupid feral judge in michigoon that says illegals have the right to carry a gun. Next they will be giving them full and better rights than citizens.

Oh, they already are.

Step two: sue the federal government for the cost of doing their job for them and for the plane fares to send these illegals home.

Texas has expended 11 billion state funds to enforce the border that this administration has plied open. I support what Texas is doing. No doubt the sanctuary jurisdictions who encouraged this mess and are now suffering from it will be primary beneficiaries of Texas’ actions, But I doubt they will be sending Abbott a Hallmark card and a check thanking him. What Abbott can’t push back across the border, he can ship north to Massachusetts to choke on their virtue signaling and where they have more geography to accommodate them than urban NY, Chicago and Denver
