Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas’ Challenge to Biden Border Policy

The Supreme Court struck down a challenge to President Joe Biden’s border policy Friday, ruling that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge a policy the states claimed was illegal.

The Supreme Court Friday stuck down Texas and Louisiana’s legal challenge to new Biden administration border policies that violate federal statutes and harm citizens in Texas and Louisiana, the states argued. (Read the full ruling below.)

All justices besides Samuel Alito concurred in the opinion that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge the new rules, which the Department of Homeland Security promulgated in 2021.

Texas and Louisiana argued that federal law requires law enforcement to arrest certain noncitizens upon their release from prison or entry of a final order of removal, but the new DHS rule only prioritizes the arrest and removal of noncitizens who are suspected terrorists or dangerous criminals who unlawfully entered the country recently. The states claimed that these rules harmed them by imposing extra costs by requiring them to continue to incarcerate or supply social services—such as health care and education—to noncitizens.

I just don’t understand.  No one seems to want to enforce the laws!

Argh!
