"Texas Immigration Law Sparks Political Divide and Legal Battles"

The Justice Department's lawsuit against Texas over its S.B. 4 law allowing Public Safety officers to detain and deport illegal migrants was heard in court, with Texas congressmen Henry Cuellar and Tony Gonzales expressing differing opinions on the state's authority to enforce immigration laws. The three-judge panel heard arguments regarding Texas' appeal of the Fifth Circuit's blockage of the law, with Cuellar emphasizing the need for federal government involvement and bipartisan cooperation, while Gonzales claimed Texas has the right to create and enforce its own immigration laws due to perceived failures by the Biden administration.
