In a showdown between the Lone Star State and the federal government, Texas finds itself at the center of a heated battle over border security. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a stern warning, threatening to sue the state if it chooses to enforce its recently passed border security law.
This new legislation, known as Senate Bill 4, aims to curb the alarming surge of illegal entry into Texas. However, the DOJ argues that the power to determine removability of individuals falls solely under federal jurisdiction, citing a precedent set by the Supreme Court.
