"US Suspends Rail Operations on Southern Border, Arrests Illegal Migrants"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new law that grants sweeping powers to police officers to arrest migrants who enter the US illegally. The law also allows local judges to order them to leave the country. Critics argue that the measure is a violation of federal immigration enforcement and have condemned it as unconstitutional. Legal challenges are expected, and Mexico's government has rebuked the law. Texas Republicans have increasingly taken immigration enforcement into their own hands, citing the Biden administration's perceived lack of action. The law is seen by opponents as an attempt to force the Supreme Court to revisit a landmark 2012 decision on immigration enforcement.
