The enactment of the new Texan statute, Senate Bill 4, expected to be operational by Tuesday, was temporarily stalled by U.S. District Judge David Ezra in Austin this week. The legislation, crafted to provide state law enforcement the power to apprehend anyone suspected of unauthorized crossing on the Texas-Mexico border, now stands inside an accelerating legal challenge. The state of Texas finds itself in the midst of multiple lawsuits, primarily led by the federal government and some immigration-focused nonprofits

Ezra's order highlighted the potential for severe and inalterable damage if SB 4 is put into effect, notably for the federal government. His argumentation emphasizes how the law could potentially inspire other U.S. states to craft their unique immigration laws, consequently leading to a discordant set of immigration rules. This outcome can potentially disturb the long-established norm of immigration regulation being solely within federal rule.

In his judicial order, Ezra voiced, 'SB 4 may compromise the crucial understanding that immigration regulation within the U.S. must present a unified front.' He argued further that SB 4 could result in the detention and expulsion of immigrants who might qualify for political asylum. Such actions would be in violation of both the Constitution and U.S. treaty obligations.

Recognizing the threats posed by drug cartels and trafficking organizations, Ezra made it clear in his ruling that these concerns do not validate crimes against the Supremacy Clause. 'Certainly, Texas has the authority to and indeed does crackdown on such illicit activities. This ruling does not hinder any law enforcement efforts against them. Notwithstanding, disagreement on the federal government's delivery on border immigration policies cannot justify infringing the Supremacy Clause,' he stated.
