Law letting state police arrest people suspected of illegally crossing US-Mexico border can proceed pending court challenge
The White House strongly criticised the US supreme court on Tuesday for allowing what it called a “harmful and unconstitutional” Texas immigration law to go into effect.
The law, known as Senate Bill 4 (SB4), allows state authorities to arrest, process and potentially imprison people suspected of crossing the US-Mexico border illegally – thereby infringing on duties long reserved for federal authorities.
