: The US conservative-majority Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an emergency request by the Joe Biden administration, allowing the state of Texas to temporally enforce its controversial law allowing Texas police to arrest migrants crossing the US-Mexico border illegally, reported Xinhua.
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott hailed the court order, calling it “clearly a positive development”. “The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos,“ liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion. Immigrant rights groups filed a lawsuit against the Texas law one day after Abbott signed the bill in December.
