I don't care about the rules...but they still apply to me
“While President Biden refuses to do his job and enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress, the State of Texas is once again stepping up and taking unprecedented action to protect Americans and secure our southern border.” Tough words from TX Gov. Abbott and his order that any law enforcement official may return migrants to the border without due process.
Too bad he's in violation of federal law and won't get his childish "look at me" way.
The American Immigration Council (AIC) responded to Abbott’s order on Thursday, arguing that it ignored a previous Supreme Court ruling that states cannot carry out immigration enforcement.
“Authorizing state law enforcement to deport migrants could expose law enforcement agents to significant legal risk,” the council wrote in a statement, citing a separate executive order by Abbott that was struck down by a judge last year.
AIC Policy Director Aaron Reichlin-Melnick added: “Federal law is clear: states may not carry out immigration enforcement on their own and migrants have a right to request asylum and to be processed under our immigration laws.”
