"Texas and Mexico in Ongoing Immigration Dispute"

Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for signing a law that allows peace officers to arrest individuals they suspect of entering the country illegally, accusing him of seeking popularity as the Republican Party's vice presidential candidate. López Obrador vowed to defend Mexican migrants and challenged Abbott's actions, reminding him that Texas was once part of Mexico. The new law makes illegal entry a state crime, and a lawsuit has been filed against it, arguing that it violates the U.S. Constitution. Abbott's immigration enforcement efforts have faced criticism for encroaching on federal authority.
