SCOTUS Clears Historic Texas Immigration Law for Enforcement

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling on Tuesday allowing the Texas SB4 Immigration Law to go into effect, at least for now.

Controversial Texas Immigration Law Could Take Effect Today

Texas SB4 Immigration Law will go into effect Wednesday afternoon if the U.S. Supreme Court takes no further action before 4 p.m.  The new law will allow state and local law enforcement officers to arrest and prosecute migrants illegally entering the state.

It’s Not Over, Says Texas Governor Following SCOTUS Border Razor-Wire Order

“This is not over,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted on Monday evening after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Border Patrol agents can cut the razor-wire border barriers along the Rio Grande.
