He will get blamed.

 

Think Farron of Farron Balanced and Ring of Fire showed an abc poll on who gets blamed for  border deal  not passing.

 

 Gop- 53%
dems- 51%
biden- 49%
Trump- 39%
 

Think I remembered it right.

Wouldn't surprise me. The person who I believe is on tape ordering the GOP to reneg on the deal has the least responsibility

 

Although I could see a case that the people who carried out his orders have more responsibility than the person with no government power whatsoever.

Federal judge blocks enforcement of controversial Texas immigration law

 

A federal judge in Austin, Texas, ordered the state government Thursday to suspend enforcement of a controversial law that would allow state law enforcement agents to arrest and detain people they suspect of entering the country illegally.

 

“If allowed to procced, SB 4 could open the door to each state passing its own version of immigration laws,” Judge David Alan Ezra wrote, granting a preliminary injunction against the law.

 

The judge rejected the state’s argument that the current influx of migrants across the southern border is an “invasion” that Texas has the right to stop unilaterally. “SB 4 threatens the fundamental notion that the United States must regulate immigration with one voice,” Ezra wrote.

Supreme Court extends freeze on controversial Texas immigration law

 

The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a temporary freeze on the enforcement of Texas’ controversial immigration law that allows state law enforcement to arrest and detain people they suspect of entering the country illegally.

 

Without action from the high court, the Texas law would have gone into effect Wednesday. Now, with the new administrative orders in place, its implementation will remain paused through Monday.

 

Justice Samuel Alito issued the latest administrative holds, which will give the court additional time to review briefing in the case and do not necessarily signal which way the justices are leaning on the underlying request.

Supreme Court Won’t Block, for Now, Aggressive Texas Immigration Law

 

The Supreme Court temporarily sided with Texas on Tuesday in its increasingly bitter fight with the Biden administration over immigration policy, allowing an expansive state law to go into effect that makes it a crime for migrants to enter Texas without authorization.

 

As is typical when the court acts on emergency applications, its order gave no reasons. But Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, filed a concurring opinion that seemed to express the majority’s bottom line.

 

They were returning the case to an appeals court for a prompt ruling on whether the law should be paused while an appeal moves forward, Justice Barrett wrote. “If a decision does not issue soon,” she wrote, “the applicants may return to this court.”

 

The three liberal members of the court — Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor — dissented.

 

“Today, the court invites further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement,” Justice Sotomayor wrote. “Texas passed a law that directly regulates the entry and removal of noncitizens and explicitly instructs its state courts to disregard any ongoing federal immigration proceedings. That law upends the federal-state balance of power that has existed for over a century, in which the national government has had exclusive authority over entry and removal of noncitizens.”

Appeals Court Puts Texas Immigration Law on Hold Again

 

The State of Texas late Tuesday was once again prevented from enforcing a strict new immigration law that gives local police agencies the power to arrest migrants who cross the border without authorization.

 

The order, issued by a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals panel before midnight, capped a day of legal whiplash and came just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the law to temporarily go into effect.

 

Migrants newly arrived in Texas were already expressing worry on Tuesday over whether they could face arrest by state authorities under the state’s new immigration law.

 

In the border city of Brownsville, a group of them gathered through the afternoon and evening near the international bridge that connects the city to Mexico. Most had managed to score an appointment with Customs and Border Protection officials through an app, CBP One, meaning they had entered the country legally and were making a plea for asylum through the official channels.

Appeals court keeps controversial Texas immigration law on hold

 

A controversial Texas law that allows state officials to arrest and detain people they suspect of entering the country illegally will remain blocked while legal challenges to it play out, a federal appeals court said Tuesday.

 

In a 2-1 vote, the court said the law, known as SB 4, will continue to be blocked while the court considers the larger question of whether it violates the US Constitution. Immigration enforcement is generally a responsibility of the federal government.

 

The court’s decision to not allow enforcement of the law caps off a messy few days in which SB 4 was caught in legal limbo after the Supreme Court allowed it to go into effect for a short period, only for the appeals court panel to put it back on hold hours later.
