The US Supreme Court eventually said yes. Contrary to what the Biden administration demanded, a Texas law went into effect today that allows state police to arrest migrants without protest or discontent.

Decision of the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the United States of America has given the green light to a law in Texas that will allow police to arrest people suspected of illegally entering the United States. The six justices of the court’s conservative majority rejected an appeal by the Biden administration, which defines the law passed by Texas Republicans as an “unprecedented intervention in federal immigration management”, asking for a stay. of the controversial law, which is now being reviewed by the Texas Court of Appeals. “There is no ambiguity in this law, it is in clear violation of federal law and its application,” argued Attorney General Elizabeth Prelogra, but without convincing the conservative justices, who secured an important political victory for the time being. Texas Republican Gov. Gregg Abbott, who has denounced what he calls an “invasion” of his state and “inaction” by the Biden administration, has signed a law making “illegal immigration” a state, not just a federal, crime. The law will allow Texas police to arrest, detain or deport undocumented migrants. “Today, the court has created more chaos and crisis in the administration of immigration,” read the dissenting opinion of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who opposed it along with two other liberal justices. However, the law will most likely return to the Supreme Court for review after the Texas Court of Appeals ruled and set oral arguments for April 3.
The White House’s response
“We strongly disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision to allow an unconstitutional Texas law” that allows the arrest and deportation of those who enter the United States illegally. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said that the Texas law is “an example of how Republicans are playing politics at the border and blocking real solutions.”
