U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says that a Texas law giving state authorities the power to arrest and deport migrants who have entered the country illegally is unconstitutional.
Migrants and Catholics hold an Easter-related event to remember migrants who have died, disappeared, are imprisoned, or have been maimed, with a Way of the Cross procession in Guatemala City, Friday, March 15, 2024. The cross reads in Spanish"Way of the Migrant Cross." Recommended Videos
“It is our strongly held view as a matter of law that SB4 ... is unconstitutional and it is our hope and confidence that the courts will strike it down with finality,” Mayorkas said. The Texas law passed last year would allow the state to arrest and deport people who enter the U.S. illegally. The U.S. Justice Department has challenged the law as a clear violation of federal authority.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments on the Texas law Wednesday, but did not rule. The law is on hold for now. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.
