Frequently Asked Questions

What is Texas's SB4 law?

Texas's SB4 law makes it illegal for individuals to enter the state outside of a lawful port of entry. It also empowers state law enforcement officers to arrest and detain people suspected of illegally crossing the border and allows judges to order their return to Mexico.

What was the Supreme Court's ruling in Labrador v. Po?

The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Labrador v. Po limited lower courts' ability to grant universal preliminary injunctions. This means injunctions should generally only provide relief to the named parties in a lawsuit, rather than applying statewide or nationwide to non-parties.

Why is the Biden Administration challenging Texas's SB4 law?

The Biden Administration argues that SB4 is unconstitutional and interferes with the federal government's authority over immigration enforcement. They contend that states do not have the power to enact such laws that preempt federal immigration policy.

How does the Supreme Court's ruling in Labrador v. Po affect the SB4 legal battle?

The ruling in Labrador v. Po provides Texas with a legal basis to challenge the universal injunctions that have blocked SB4. Texas is using this precedent to argue that the scope of relief granted by lower courts against SB4 is too broad and unlawful.
