    So can any state with a country border just decide how it goes then?

    So if a state… Idk, wants ICE gone, then they’re out?

    Alright, bet. I’ll phone my local representatives tomorrow. You should too.

    Sotomayor had a good rebuttal to this. Made good points, one of which is about maintaining security: with this new Texas law, if you’re a non citizen, you’ll be very wary of reporting suspicious activity or crimes. If I’m a non citizen and witness illegal activity, I’m not going to be inclined to report it.

    It’s like they’re a pack of right-wing handpicked fascist enabling shitheads, some idiot drunken rapists, and the last liberal few.

    So proud.

    Well…damn! It’s not a final decision, and must keep going through lower courts.(Note: haven’t read the decision yet, though)

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Texas to enforce a contentious new law that gives local police the power to arrest migrants.

    “The court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos,” liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion.

    The law in question, known as SB4, allows police to arrest migrants who illegally cross the border from Mexico and imposes criminal penalties.

    On March 4, Justice Samuel Alito issued a temporary freeze on the law to give the Supreme Court time to consider the federal government’s request.

    The Constitution “recognizes that Texas has the sovereign right to defend itself from violent transnational cartels that flood the state with fentanyl, weapons, and all manner of brutality,” he added.

    Texas is “the nation’s first-line defense against transnational violence and has been forced to deal with the deadly consequences of the federal government’s inability or unwillingness to protect the border,” Paxton said.


    The original article contains 542 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Third world illegals when they wanna reach the supposedly best country of the world: goes through the trump wall with a high risk of getting unsubscribed from life.

    Me, a third world poor intellectual who knows USA bad: buys a plane ticket with disgust to visit one of the McDonald’s restaurants in burger and freedom land just for the lols.
