Supreme Court lets Texas border enforcement law take effect
The Supreme Court has let a strict Texas border enforcement law take effect. In a 6-3 ruling, the high court said the law can be enforced while a legal battle over immigration policy plays out. The Texas law allows state officials to arrest and detain people they suspect of entering the country illegally. The Biden administration is suing to strike down the measure, arguing it’s a clear violation of federal authority. But Texas has argued it has a right to take action in response to an ongoing crisis at the southern border.
