Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Supreme Court's Texas immigration law ruling: 'This is historic'
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick reacts to the Supreme Court justices ruling that Texas can enforce its immigration laws on 'America Reports.'
Texas Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick lauded the Supreme Court's ruling that his state's border protection law, S.B. 4, may be enforced while a lawsuit against it is further adjudicated.
The Justice Department launched a lawsuit in January to nullify the law, which allows Texas to arrest illegal immigrants within its confines, arguing the federal government must "preserve its exclusive authority… to regulate the entry and removal of noncitzens."
Patrick told Fox News on Tuesday he's been "catching his breath" since the 6–3 ruling was handed down "because this is historic."
