States' Rare Power in Legal Precedent
Texas briefly succeeded in implementing a law allowing state police to arrest migrants crossing the U.S. border illegally, citing a constitutional clause permitting states to act in rare 'invasion' situations. Despite a lower court's rejection in February, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling temporarily enabled the law before an appeals court reinstated the hold. Texas plans to argue the law's constitutionality at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledging potential disruption of long-standing legal norms. Governor Abbott anticipates the Supreme Court's ultimate judgment on the matter.
