BREAKING: Supreme Court sides 8-1 with Biden administration on Texas challenge to immigration policies.
In an 8-1 decision authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the majority held that Republican officials in two states, including Texas, lacked the standing to sue against Biden's policy.
At issue in the case was a memorandum from 2021 that focused enforcement on immigrants who pose a threat to national security, public safety, or border security. The administration said it wants to prioritize those immigrants for removal because it lacks the resources to remove everyone in the country illegally.Justice Samuel Alito filed a lone dissent against the decision.
