Governor who clashed with Obama over attempted illegal immigration crackdown reacts to SCOTUS' Texas ruling
Fox News
Former Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer celebrated the Supreme Court's stay of Texas' tough immigration law, similar to one she implemented during her first term.
"I'm happy to hear that they finally realized they're OK with S.B. 1070. We felt that at the time when it was passed, and we had a lot of legal scholars that agreed," Brewer told Fox, referencing the Arizona law. "And now we've got some principled Supreme Court justices that made the right decision. And I think that we all understand clearly that we have a right to arrest illegal people in our state. They're breaking the law." Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on X at @BGillespieAL.
The Supreme Court struck down parts of S.B. 1070 in 2012, including a provision that would have allowed police to make arrests for violations of federal immigration law. S.B. 4 — Texas' version of the Arizona bill — was similarly struck down by a federal judge in February, but was stayed by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals before reaching the Supreme Court.
