Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Texas Illegal Immigration Law
Yes, your government is suing to keep the border open…
The U.S. Supreme Court imposed a temporary pause on the enforcement of Texas’s immigration law on Monday, which would have granted state law enforcement powers to arrest and detain people they suspect of entering the country illegally.
Justice Samuel Alito, who oversees the federal circuit handling the case, issued an administrative stay, effectively postponing the implementation of SB4 until March 13. This temporary pause allows the Supreme Court additional time to review the case but does not provide a clear indication of the court’s ultimate stance.
The Biden administration filed an emergency application on Monday, urging the Supreme Court to prevent Texas from enforcing the law. SB4 will allow state law enforcement officials to prosecute and arrest illegal immigrants who recently crossed the border.
Under the Texas law, it would become a state crime to illegally enter or reenter Texas from a foreign country. State and local law enforcement would gain the authority to arrest and prosecute violators, and state judges could order individuals to leave the country, with potential prison sentences of up to 20 years for those who don’t comply.
The law would have gone into effect on Tuesday without the high court’s intervention.
Last week, U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra temporarily blocked Texas state officials from enforcing SB4, responding to a request from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Judge Ezra, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan, rejected the Lone Star state’s argument that it could enforce its border in the face of an “invasion” by illegal immigrants.
“I haven’t seen, and the state of Texas can’t point me to any type of military invasion in Texas. I don’t see evidence that Texas is at war,” Judge Ezra wrote.
Immigration arrests and deportations are federal responsibilities, and the Texas law would interfere, according to the March 1 ruling.
