"Legal Battles Over Texas Immigration Laws Stall Progress on Border Crisis"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott reaffirmed the state's commitment to arresting illegal immigrants, despite legal challenges, blaming the Biden administration for leaving the southern border open. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is considering Texas' anti-illegal immigration law, S.B.4, which allows police to arrest those suspected of entering the U.S. illegally. Abbott argued that Texas has the authority to arrest individuals crossing the border illegally, even without S.B.4, and emphasized the state's efforts to secure the border, including building barriers and arresting thousands of illegal immigrants. The legal battle between Texas and the Biden administration continues, with the Fifth Circuit Court temporarily blocking the law from going into effect.
