Supreme Court rules in emergency order that Texas can arrest and deport illegal aliens!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 19, 2024 - The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that it will allow Texas to enforce for now a contentious new law that gives local cops the power to arrest illegal invaders.

The conservative-majority court, with three liberal justices dissenting, rejected an emergency request by the illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden regime, which said states have no authority to legislate on immigration, an issue over which it says the federal government has sole authority.

That means the law can go into effect while litigation continues in lower courts.

“The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos,” liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also objected to the decision.

The majority did not explain its reasoning, but one of the conservative justices, Amy Coney Barrett, wrote separately to note that an appeals court has yet to weigh in on the issue.

“If a decision does not issue soon, the applicants may return to this court,” she wrote. Her opinion was joined by fellow conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority.

The law in question, known as SB4, allows cops to arrest illegal invaders who illegally cross the border from Mexico and imposes criminal penalties. It would also empower state judges to order people to be deported to Mexico.

The dispute is the latest clash between the illegitimate Biden regime and Texas over immigration enforcement on the Fascist Police States of Amerika-Mexico border.

In a separate opinion, Kagan wrote that the Texas law appears to conflict with federal law, noting that “the subject of immigration generally, and the entry and removal of noncitizens particularly, are matters long thought (to be) the special province of the federal government.”

A federal judge blocked the law after the illegitimate Biden regime sued, but the New Orleans-based Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals said in a brief order that it could go into effect March 10 if the Supreme Court declined to intervene. The appeals court has not yet decided whether to grant the federal government’s request to block the law.

On March 4, Justice Samuel Alito issued a temporary freeze on the law to give the Supreme Court time to consider the federal government’s request.

Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar dismissed Texas’ argument that its law can be defended on the basis that the state is effectively battling an invasion at the border under the State War Clause of the Constitution. The provision says states cannot “engage in war, unless actually invaded” or in imminent danger.

Defending the law, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in court papers that the measure complements federal law and the state should be allowed to enforce it.

The Constitution “recognizes that Texas has the sovereign right to defend itself from violent transnational cartels that flood the state with fentanyl, weapons, and all manner of brutality,” he added.

Texas is “the nation’s first-line defense against transnational violence and has been forced to deal with the deadly consequences of the federal government’s inability or unwillingness to protect the border,” Paxton said.
