Frequently Asked Questions

What is Texas's SB4 law?

Texas SB4 makes it a crime to cross into the state outside of a legal port of entry and allows state judges to order individuals to return to their country of origin. It also criminalizes re-entry after denial or removal from the U.S. The law has been challenged by the Biden administration.

Why has the Trump administration requested a delay in the SB4 case?

What was the Supreme Court's role in the SB4 case?

The Supreme Court denied the Biden administration's request to vacate the Fifth Circuit's administrative stay on the SB4 law. This decision, at that stage, allowed Texas to continue enforcing the law while the case proceeded through the appellate courts.

How do President Trump's executive orders relate to the SB4 law?

President Trump's executive order declaring an 'invasion' at the southern border aligns with the concerns that prompted Texas to pass SB4. This suggests a potential federal-state agreement on the necessity of such measures, influencing the Trump administration's approach to the SB4 lawsuit.
