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 entry — already a federal offense — into a state crime. It also creates a state felony charge for illegal reentry.
This comes just one day after the Supreme Court had approved an extension of a block on the rule, at the request of the Biden administration, who had filed a lawsuit trying to stop the law.
The law is still being debated in the courts, but the Supreme Court has just allowed Texas to begin enforcing the law, for now.
The New York Times explained, “Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, filed a concurring opinion that said an appeals court must act before the Supreme Court intervenes.”
Meanwhile, liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor fumed, “Today, the court invites further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement. Texas passed a law that directly regulates the entry and removal of noncitizens and explicitly instructs its state courts to disregard any ongoing federal immigration proceedings. That law upends the federal-state balance of power that has existed for over a century, in which the national government has had exclusive authority over entry and removal of noncitizens.”
Strategist Greg Price wrote, “Wow. The Supreme Court just did a 180 and ruled that Texas is allowed to enforce SB 4, allowing state police to arrest and deport illegal aliens. 7 of the 9 Justices sided with Texas over the Biden admin. Sotomayor and Jackson dissented and said it will “sow chaos.””
Wow.
The Supreme Court just did a 180 and ruled that Texas is allowed to enforce SB 4, allowing state police to arrest and deport illegal aliens.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote, “BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision Supreme Court allows Texas to begin enforcing SB4 that allows the arrest of illegal immigrants. We still have to have hearings in the 5th circuit federal court of appeals. But this is clearly a positive development.”

We still have to have hearings in the 5th circuit federal court of appeals.
But this is clearly a positive development.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton cheered the ruling, writing, “HUGE WIN: Texas has defeated the Biden Administration’s and ACLU’s emergency motions at the Supreme Court. Our immigration law, SB 4, is now in effect. As always, it’s my honor to defend Texas and its sovereignty, and to lead us to victory in court.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) wrote, “The Supreme Court has ruled correctly and given Texas the authority to detain and jail illegals. Enough of the lawlessness that has plagued our nation. Since Biden refuses to secure the border, red states will step up and do it without him!”
