The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday to allow local Texas police officers to enforce the new legislation that would give them the power to arrest migrants. The court rejected a request from the Biden administration to block the law.
Under the new legislation, state judges can also order people to be deported to Mexico. “The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a dissenting opinion.
