Legal Insurrection by Mary Chastain 3/21/2024
I bet the ruling comes today.The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from Texas Solicitor General Aaron Nielson about the state’s immigration law after it paused its implementation.
Senate Bill 4 allows state law enforcement to arrest and detain illegal immigrants who cross the border outside of legal ports of entry.
Nielson argued that “Texas has a right to defend itself.” He also mentioned “that the district court had acknowledged that ‘sometimes those associated with the cartels cross over the border with malicious intent.'”
From NBC News:
Chief Judge Priscilla Richman, a George W. Bush appointee, noted that states don’t have police power to remove people from the U.S.
“This is the first time, it seems to me, that a state has claimed that they had the right to remove illegal aliens,” Richman said.
