Advocates gird for Texas migrant law that could upheave US immigration
Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Texas Immigration Law Intensifies Again
  • A federal appeals court issued a ruling late on Tuesday that once more halts Texas from apprehending migrants suspected of unlawfully entering the United States, shortly after the Supreme Court implemented the stringent new immigration law.

  • Earlier in the day, a split decision by the Supreme Court granted Texas permission to enforce a statute granting law enforcement extensive authority to detain migrants believed to have illegally crossed the border while the legal conflict regarding the provision unfolds.

  • Opponents view the legislation as the most extreme effort by a state to regulate immigration since the passage of an Arizona law over a decade ago, parts of which were invalidated by the Supreme Court.

  • The dispute over the immigration statute in Texas is among several legal clashes between Texan officials and the Biden administration concerning the extent to which the state can monitor the Texas-Mexico border and deter unauthorized border crossings.

Quick Glance: Texas Independence: More Realistic Than Expected
  • The leader of the movement for an independent Texas, Daniel Miller, emphasized the urgency of the issue due to the border crisis.

  • A Texan nationalist expressed that the secession of the Lone Star State from the Union 'could be absolutely more realistic than expected' amid the ongoing standoff with federal authorities over the Texas-Mexico border.

  • In the latest edition of his podcast, Miller discussed the impact of the border dispute on his campaign for Texas independence or 'Texit'.

  • Miller expressed his confidence that the border standoff is pushing more Texans to cast a positive vote in a hypothetical vote on whether Texas should be an independent state.

Quick Glance: DHS Warns Texas Over Border Access
  • The Department of Homeland Security has threatened Texas, stating that the state is acting unconstitutionally by blocking Customs and Border Protection's access to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas.

  • The Biden administration accused the Texas National Guard of preventing Border Patrol agents from accessing a 2.5-mile stretch of the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, including Shelby Park.

  • Texas has demonstrated that it will not allow Border Patrol access to the border, even in urgent circumstances, to conduct law enforcement and emergency response activities.
