We go from today’s top story to oppositeville, both geographically and in terms of political motivations. “A whirlwind of court orders on Tuesday briefly allowed, then blocked again, a controversial new immigration law in Texas that would allow state and local law enforcement to arrest and deport people who are in the state illegally. The Biden administration has objected to the law, known as Senate Bill 4, saying that the Constitution and legal precedent establish that the federal government has the exclusive power to enforce immigration law.” What to know about SB 4, the Texas immigration law in the courts now.

+ “The Texas measure also allows state law enforcement officers to stop and detain anyone they “suspect” of having entered Texas unlawfully, while instructing state courts to disregard any ongoing federal immigration proceedings. It also allows state judges to begin deportation proceedings and permits state magistrate judges to remove migrants back to Mexico as an alternative to continued prosecution. (Those who cannot prove their legal status may be jailed or deported back to Mexico, whether or not they’re Mexican.) This radical revision of immigration law will hinder migrants’ ability to cross safely into the country and seek asylum once here. It will also subject Latinos, including citizens and permanent residents, to heightened suspicion and harassment by law enforcement.” Slate: The Supreme Court Just Gave Texas a Green Light to Harass Every Latino Person in the State.
