TL;DR Summary

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new law that grants sweeping powers to police officers to arrest migrants who enter the US illegally and allows local judges to order them to leave the country. The law, which opponents have criticized as a violation of federal immigration enforcement, is likely to face legal challenges. Texas Republicans argue that the Biden administration is not doing enough to stop illegal immigration. The measure has drawn criticism from immigrant rights groups and Mexico's government. Some experts believe that Texas Republicans are using the law to challenge the Supreme Court's 2012 decision on immigration enforcement in Arizona.
