BREAKING: SCOTUS allows Texas’s SB 4 to go into effect, allowing state criminal enforcement of a state immigration law. More to come at Law Dork. www.lawdork.com
The experiment of “what would happen if we allowed an insanely reactionary party enormous power over our government” continues and the results just keep getting crazier every single day.
Not only does this impact immigrants, this is also dangerous for individuals who Texas law enforcement targets as “immigrants”. POC will be forced to carry all kinds of documents in order to prove who they are. Horrible news.
The great thing about the Roberts court is they consistently follow the law and precedent...except for all the times they didn't.
Now every border state can do whatever, right?
Another way for bored law enforcement to terrorise random civilians with frivolous arrests.
Abbot is wetting his quill to write Texas' new "decriminalize the murdering of immigrants and refugees" law.
This kinda feels like the officially sanctioned beginning of the end of the union and federalism
Wait, I'm lost. They declined to vacate the stay but they also rescinded his orders??
Have Texas said who has the right to make these arrests? And what happens if they deport someone wrongfully? These are the questions I'm interested in.
