Texas Border Tensions Rise as Supreme Court Allows Strict Immigration Law
The Supreme Court's decision to allow Texas to arrest and deport migrants for illegally entering the country has sparked anticipation and concern along the U.S.-Mexico border. While some law enforcement officials are prepared to implement the law, others are hesitant, and Mexico has rejected any state or local enforcement of immigration laws. The immediate impact of the ruling was muted, with no rush on the border or word of arrests, but it has triggered alarm among migrant advocates. The law's enforcement is expected to be challenging, and recent data shows a significant decline in illegal crossings, with President Biden's administration crediting Mexico for heightened enforcement in certain border areas.
