Just kidding! Now Texas CANNOT enforce its migrant bill and arrest migrants who have illegally crossed from Mexico.
In one week, Texas went from NOT being able to enforce this law, to BEING able to enforce this law, and now again NOT being able to after yet another court ruling to keep the injunction in place.
The case revolves around Texas Senate Bill 4, which makes it a crime to cross the border outside of ports of entry, punishable by up to 6 months in prison for first-time offenders and 20 years in prison for repeat offenders. The Biden administration is suing Texas to stop it in the Supreme Court while Texas also defends it in District Court.
More than 9 million illegal immigrants have crossed into the U.S. from Mexico since October of 2021, according to Customs and Border Protection data.
