The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that Texas could enforce an immigration law that would allow local officials to arrest migrants suspected of entering the U.S. illegally.Â
This means the law can go into effect as litigation occurs in lower courts, according to CNN.Â
The law in question is Senate Bill 4 and it allows police to arrest migrants who illegally cross the border and give judges authority to deport them back to Mexico.Â
Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott signed the legislation last year, but it was blocked by a federal judge last month.Â
“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,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on the social media platform, X.Â
The three liberal justices dissented with Justice Sotomayor writing that the law would “upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos,” according to NBC News.Â

The coven on the Supreme Court are correct that immigration is a federal responsibility.
The constitution that gives the national government authority to control immigration also REQUIRES the national government to secure our borders from invasion.
So if Washington abrogates its responsibility to control immigration and protect us from foreign invasion it is left to the states to secure our nation.
Enabling those who violate our immigration law is sedition and human smuggling.
Biden is inarguably guilty of both.
