Frequently Asked Questions

How is the US v. Rahimi Supreme Court case relevant to Texas's SB4 border law?

Texas argues that the US v. Rahimi decision supports its SB4 law by demonstrating that facial challenges brought by the federal government against state laws can be invalid. They contend the Rahimi rationale should lead to the federal lawsuit against SB4 being dismissed.

What is the Biden Administration's argument for striking down Texas's SB4 law?

The Biden Administration argues that SB4 should be struck down by citing the Eighth Circuit's recent ruling against Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) law. They contend that the federal government has the right to sue to enjoin preempted state laws, similar to the Missouri case.

What is Texas's SB4 law and what does it do?

Texas's SB4 law makes it a crime for individuals to cross into Texas outside of a lawful port of entry, effectively violating federal immigration law. It acts as a state-level enhancement of federal law and includes mechanisms for judges to order individuals back to their point of origin.

What was the outcome of the Supreme Court's emergency order regarding SB4?

The Supreme Court denied the Biden Administration's request to vacate the administrative stay that the Fifth Circuit had placed on a lower court's injunction against SB4. This effectively meant the Supreme Court sided with Texas, allowing the stay to remain in place temporarily.
