The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday temporarily halted a new Texas law that allows police to arrest migrants who enter the country illegally.
AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday temporarily halted a new Texas law that allows police to arrest migrants who enter the country illegally and set up another legal showdown over the federal government's authority over immigration.
The law was set to take effect Saturday unless the Supreme Court intervened. The Justice Department told the court that the law would profoundly alter "the status quo that has existed between the United States and the States in the context of immigration for almost 150 years." In a statement Monday, the Texas Attorney General's Office said the Texas law mirrored federal law and "was adopted to address the ongoing crisis at the southern border, which hurts Texans more than anyone else."
According to Ezra's ruling, allowing Texas to supersede federal law due to an "invasion" would "amount to nullification of federal law and authority — a notion that is antithetical to the Constitution and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts since the Civil War." Texas has been arresting migrants for years under a different program that is based on criminal trespass arrests.
