Supreme Court Greenlights SB 4 Enforcement
Legal Battle Continues: Supreme Court Declines to Halt Texas' Immigration Enforcement Law
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, Texas officials are now authorized to enforce Senate Bill 4, marking a significant shift in immigration enforcement authority. The law, initially delayed twice, allows authorities to arrest and deport migrants believed to have entered the state from Mexico without permission.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, in a procedural order, acknowledged the case's unusual circumstances and noted the accelerated consideration by the conservative-leaning 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. However, liberal justices criticized the decision, warning of potential chaos in immigration enforcement.
Texas Republicans, who championed the law, argue it's necessary to combat what they perceive as an "invasion" of migrants and address border security concerns. Attorney General Ken Paxton hailed the order as a "huge win," emphasizing the law's immediate implementation.
Governor Greg Abbott also welcomed the ruling, recognizing it as a positive step forward while acknowledging the forthcoming hearings in the federal appeals court. The decision marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle over immigration enforcement in Texas.
With the Supreme Court's decision, Texas must now demonstrate the effectiveness of Senate Bill 4 in achieving true "operational control" of the southern border. The state's implementation of this legislation will be closely watched, as it could set a precedent for immigration enforcement strategies nationwide.
Stay tuned for further updates as the legal proceedings continue.

Texas Historic Border Security Measures: A Model for All 50 States!
Texas, leveraging its State Constitutional Authority, has taken a bold step to halt Biden's open border invasion, paving the way for genuine reform. In a landscape marred by decades of congressional inaction, marked by incompetence and a lack of political will, Texas has emerged as a beacon of proactive governance.
The collective strength of 25 Governors standing united, passing legislation in solidarity with Texas, will serve as an impenetrable shield against the invasion and colonization of our states and country, marking a decisive moment to reclaim our power and protect the sovereignty of our nation.
In a landmark move to fortify Texas' border security, Governor Greg Abbott signed pivotal laws to combat illegal immigration, human smuggling, and enhance border infrastructure. These laws passed between June and December, deliver comprehensive border laws and position Texas as a model for effective border management to protect Texas and America from the consequences of President Biden's border neglect. Illegal Immigration must become a state crime.
Governor Abbott emphasized the necessity of these measures, stating, "Four years ago, the United States had the fewest illegal border crossings in decades. President Biden's deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself." The legislation aims to fill the void left by federal negligence.
These transformative border laws include an under-reported Senate Bill 1900, designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations in Texas, further enhanced by a powerful executive order GA-42 signed in September specifically designating as foreign terrorist organizations the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and any similarly situated Mexican drug cartels, while also urging the Biden Administration to do the same.
Texas Legislation Highlights Include:
Criminalizes illegal entry into Texas from a foreign nation, imposing penalties of up to 20 years in prison for repeated attempts, with civil immunity for enforcing officials.
Mandates a ten-year minimum prison sentence for smuggling persons and continuous smuggling, with a five-year minimum for stash house operations and intensified penalties for victim-related offenses during smuggling.
Allocates $1.54 billion in general revenue for Trusteed Programs in the Office of the Governor, specifically for border security operations and the construction, operation, and maintenance of border barrier infrastructure.
Grants state court magistrate judges the authority to issue removal orders.
Authorizes Texas military forces to use unmanned aircraft for search, recovery missions, and border monitoring under Operation Lone Star.
Expands U.S. Border Patrol agents' authority, enabling arrest, search, and seizure for felony offenses under Texas law at established border checkpoints and points of entry.
Empowers the Governor to coordinate an interstate compact for border security among interested states without congressional approval, facilitating information and resource sharing.
Establishes a collaborative border operations training program through DPS for peace officers from local law enforcement agencies, enhancing their ability to identify and prevent transnational criminal activity.
Designates Mexican drug cartels and criminal organizations as foreign terrorist organizations in Texas, increasing penalties and allowing local entities to seek public nuisance claims.
“It has never been more clear that Texas must step into the breach created by the border security liars and deniers Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas.”-Lt. Gov. Patrick
“I thank Governor Abbott for having the moral courage to defend Texas and our nation when President Biden refuses to do so.” -Border Czar Banks.
"Border Patrol agents nationwide, not just in Texas, are grateful for Governor Abbott's leadership and willingness to recognize that it is the rule of law that keeps all Americans safe. His actions have already saved lives, and his continued actions will undoubtedly save thousands more. As the flagrant disregard of our laws too often is the norm throughout our country, Texans can be proud that their governor will not back down to pervasive and radical woke ideology. Instead, he will continue to look out for the best interests of his great state."-National Border Patrol Council President Judd.
“The Texas National Guard remains decisively engaged with thousands of troops from El Paso down to Brownsville. In this effort, we’ve constructed miles of concertina wire, put up over a thousand anti-climb barrier panels, and have employed new surveillance vehicles that will help get after gotaways that are getting into the country.”-Gen. Suelzer
