TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Texas and Governor Greg Abbott to prevent the implementation of Senate Bill 4 (SB4), a state law that allows for the arrest and deportation of migrants by state authorities. The federal government argues that SB4, which is set to take effect in March, infringes upon federal immigration authority and violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Justice Department's action follows previous legal challenges against Texas' immigration policies and is part of ongoing disputes over state versus federal jurisdiction in immigration enforcement.
