They halted enforcement of SB4 today. I did not see it posted on page 1.

SCOTUS temporarily halted enforcement of SB 4 but Texas is still using its authority to arrest illegal immigrants for criminal trespass and other violations of law.
We continue building the wall, use NG to erect razor wire barriers to repel migrants & buoys remain in river.

Abbott: Make me.

Defiance

I can picture joey b. seething in the White House residence and the good doctor jill having to calm him down with a bribe of two scoops of ice cream topped w/ sprinkles all in a waffle cone.

They made their ruling... let's see them enforce it.

I don't know what has happened to Abbott, but I like this new version.

Abbott to the SC - Take your time making your final decision, but in the mean time we're going to keep doing exactly what we've been doing. There is a job the feds are Constitutionally bound to do but have failed Texans miserably, and we're not waiting around for you to figure it out.

It's about time a state stood up to the feds and said enough is enough.

Please, Governor Abbot...I know you are a t-sip, but you were a human at one time, correct? Please keep pushing this issue. It LITERALLY IS the death of this country if we lose.

I believe that not ALL t-sips are liberal automatons. I believe that not ALL t-sips are liberal automatons.
I will keep telling myself that until all seven seals are broken :/

(And, Governor Abbott, if you don't think this is a REAL ISSUE, take it from a guy who is a native Texan living in Florida!)

I vote for armed militia at the border. I might have to move back to volunteer for "community service".

This was Justice Alito acting unilaterally as the "circuit judge" for the 5th Circuit

"Sanction me with your army. Oh, you ain't got no army? Well, maybe then you should shut the **** up.

Shut

Up!" </Chappelle voice>

I love googling SB 4 and seeing all the articles from MSM about the "controversial" Texas law. Best is ACLU saying "watch out for the new SB 4 deportation scheme" lol

Not so fast my friends!!

🚨🚨 HUGE WIN: Texas has defeated the Biden Administration’s and ACLU’s emergency motions at the Supreme Court. Our immigration law, SB 4, is now in effect. As always, it’s my honor to defend Texas and its sovereignty, and to lead us to victory in court.

Correct. It was always subject to review by the Court as a whole.

That review is complete...

Quote:

At the request of the Biden administration, a federal judge last month blocked SB4, finding that the state measure is at odds with federal immigration laws. That ruling was then suspended by the 5th Circuit until Justice Samuel Alito paused the appeals court's order on administrative grounds. Alito extended that pause Monday evening.

On Tuesday, the full court declined to suspend the 5th Circuit's order any longer.

No, it has barely started. This was just a ruling on the stay/injunctive relief ... whether Texas can enforce the statute during the pendency of the appeal.

The substantive appeal of the Constitutionality of the statute is ongoing.

I was referring to the initial review as to whether to block it right now...I should have clarified.

Barrett and Kavenaugh told the Federal Government to ask them again "soon" for a stay, so I don't think anything is actually "complete" at any level
