Over 40 lawmakers sign brief to support Texas in immigration fight with Biden administration
Fox News
GOP lawmakers from across several states signed on to an Amicus brief in support of Texas as it defends itself in court against the DOJ over its new immigration law.
Arrington's comments come as Texas will go to court to defend a state law signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in December that allows Texas law enforcement officers the ability to arrest and charge illegal migrants, which the Justice Department argues falls under federal authority.
"The United States brings this action to preserve its exclusive authority under federal law to regulate the entry and removal of noncitizens," the lawsuit, which was filed in an Austin federal court, states. "Texas cannot run its own immigration system. "Its efforts, through SB 4, intrude on the federal government’s exclusive authority to regulate the entry and removal of noncitizens, frustrate the United States’ immigration operations and proceedings, and interfere with U.S. foreign relations."
