The Biden administration is planning to sue Texas over a new state law that criminalizes illegal entry, granting state officials more authority to secure the border amid rising illegal immigration.
The Justice Department accuses Texas of impeding federal immigration law enforcement.

Brian M. Boynton wrote, “The Department of Justice intends to bring a lawsuit to enforce the supremacy of federal law and to enjoin the operation of SB 4.”
“The United States will pursue all appropriate legal remedies to ensure that Texas does not interfere with the functions of the federal government,” continued the DOJ official.
“Indeed, the Supreme Court has confirmed that ‘the removal process’ must be ‘entrusted to the discretion of the Federal Government’ because a ‘decision on removability’ touches ‘on foreign relations and must be made with one voice,’” wrote Boynton.
Texas is prepared to take the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The law is also facing challenges for being discriminatory, while illegal crossings continue to surge.
Abbott spokeswoman, Renae Eze, said, “Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to protect Texans and Americans from President Biden’s open border policies. President Biden’s deliberate and dangerous inaction at our southern border has left Texas to fend for itself.”
