Biden Administration Sues Texas Over New Immigration Law

The law, which criminalizes border crossing at the state level, is seen as a challenge to the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been criticized for a new law that criminalizes border crossing at the state level and empowers state judges to deport migrants.
The Biden administration has sued Texas over this law, arguing that it infringes on the federal government's exclusive right to regulate borders and immigration.
Abbott has countered that Texas has a legal right to defend itself from the open border policies of the Biden administration.
Texas has also been sued by the Justice Department over the use of barbed wire and buoys along the border, and the bussing of migrants out of the state to Democrat-controlled cities.
Abbott has indicated that he is prepared for a lengthy court battle that could end up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
