Once the Supreme Court entered the game, a heated debate between the Biden administration, Texas, and former President Trump over immigration policy reached a boiling point.
Following the approval of the strict immigration legislation by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, Texas briefly enforced it on Tuesday, eliciting both praise and criticism. The measure challenges federal jurisdiction over immigration affairs by enabling Texas to hold and deport anyone who are suspected of crossing the border illegally.
The back and forth in the courts highlighted how problematic the country’s immigration laws are, which further politicized the matter in advance of Biden’s reelection campaign. Supporters of the law maintain that it is within the state’s constitutional powers, while critics claim it violates human rights.
The Supreme Court’s involvement has raised concerns about the politicization of the judiciary by intensifying critiques of its alleged alignment with conservative objectives. The decision was made in the midst of ongoing hostilities over immigration enforcement and policy between Washington and Texas.
The Texas law’s future is still up in the air due to ongoing legal disputes that could have an impact on both internal and foreign relations. The Biden administration is under increasing pressure to handle the immigration situation and negotiate a sharply divided environment as the debate continues.
As the immigration drama plays out, keep an eye out for more updates.
