US Supreme Court Allows Controversial Texas Immigration Law to Take Effect

Published: 20 March 2024 at 00:09

The United States Supreme Court voted six to three to lift a pause on Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB4), allowing the state to detain and deport migrants and asylum seekers. Legal scholars argue the law challenges federal immigration enforcement authority and raises concerns about racial profiling. Rights groups, including the ACLU, criticize SB4 as one of the most extreme anti-immigrant laws. President Biden\'s administration has challenged the law\'s constitutionality, while advocacy groups vow to continue the legal battle. The Supreme Court\'s decision does not assess the law\'s merits, leaving room for further challenges.
