TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Texas over a new state law that empowers police to arrest migrants for illegal entry and allows state judges to order migrants to leave the country. The federal government argues that this law, known as Senate Bill 4, violates the Supremacy Clause by infringing on the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration. The law is set to take effect in March, but faces opposition from civil rights groups and has been described as unconstitutional. This legal action escalates the ongoing conflict between Texas and the Biden administration over immigration policies and border enforcement.
