TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Justice Department has sued Texas over its new border security law, SB4, which allows state and local law enforcement to arrest and prosecute migrants suspected of entering the U.S. illegally. The federal government argues that immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility and that the Texas law is unconstitutional. Texas officials, including Attorney General Ken Paxton and Governor Greg Abbott, defend the law, citing failures by the Biden administration to address illegal immigration. The lawsuit highlights the ongoing conflict between federal immigration policy and state-level initiatives.
