"Federal Government Challenges Texas in Court Over Migrant Arrest Legislation"

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Texas and Governor Greg Abbott to prevent the implementation of Senate Bill 4 (SB4), a state law that allows for the arrest and deportation of migrants by state authorities. The federal government argues that SB4, which is set to take effect in March, infringes upon federal immigration authority and violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Justice Department's action follows previous legal challenges against Texas' immigration policies and is part of ongoing disputes over state versus federal jurisdiction in immigration enforcement.

"DOJ Challenges Texas in Court Over New Controversial Border Law"

The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Texas over a new state law that empowers police to arrest migrants for illegal entry and allows state judges to order migrants to leave the country. The federal government argues that this law, known as Senate Bill 4, violates the Supremacy Clause by infringing on the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration. The law is set to take effect in March, but faces opposition from civil rights groups and has been described as unconstitutional. This legal action escalates the ongoing conflict between Texas and the Biden administration over immigration policies and border enforcement.
