TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court has allowed Texas to enforce its controversial SB4 immigration law, which criminalizes unauthorized migration at the state level, while legal battles over its constitutionality continue. The law empowers Texas law enforcement to stop, jail, and prosecute migrants on illegal entry and reentry charges, and also allows judges to order migrants to return to Mexico. The Biden administration has argued that SB4 conflicts with federal law and the Constitution, while the liberal justices on the Supreme Court dissented from the ruling, warning of potential disruption to foreign relations and federal enforcement efforts.
