On a recent Thursday, the current White House administration issued a stark caution to Texas's Republican Governor, Greg Abbott, concerning new legislation on immigration in the state. Should the state put this new law into action, which would grant extended powers regarding detention and deportation to local authorities dealing with migrants unlawfully entering the country, the federal government may consider a lawsuit.

The law in question was deemed unconstitutional by a Justice Department official, who also remarked that it diverged from America's long-standing commitment to due process for noncitizens, as emblazoned in the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The contentious legislation, known as SB4 or Senate Bill 4, aligns with the state's proactive 'Operation Lone Star'. With a proposed enforcement date of March 5th, this marked a significant shift in Texas's law enforcement strategy towards migrants entering the state illegally.

As stated in a letter penned by Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, it was pointed out that 'should Texas decide against enforcing Senate Bill 4, the federal government may reconsider the filing of a lawsuit'

Intricacies of the law, signed into fruition by Governor Abbott on December 18, categorize illegal entry into the US from Mexico as a state crime, empowering law enforcement to detain those suspected of making unauthorized border crossings, notably within the Rio Grande's parameters.
