"Mexico's Response to Texas Immigration Law and Supreme Court Rulings: Daily Briefing"

Mexico filed an amicus brief with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals warning that Texas' Senate Bill 4 would lead to discrimination against the Mexican and Latino communities, create tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, and interfere with Mexico's ability to govern its own people. The law, which allows police to arrest anyone suspected of crossing the border illegally, has caused fear and anxiety among Mexican nationals in Texas, prompting unprecedented levels of anxiety in the community. Mexico also expressed concern about Texas attempting to enforce its own immigration laws that usurp the Biden administration's stance.
