US Supreme Court lets Texas border enforcement law take effect
reuters.com
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday let a Republican-backed Texas law take effect allowing state law enforcement authorities to arrest people suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, rejecting a request by President Joe Biden's administration.
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority, and its three liberal justices dissented on Tuesday. The administration had asked the justices to freeze a judicial order allowing the Texas law to take effect while its challenge to the statute proceeds in the lower courts.
The law violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law by interfering with the U.S. government's power to regulate immigration, the administration has argued.

So what stops New York and California from issuing citizenship certificates and work permits to immigrants? After all SCROTUS just accepted immigration can be under state jurisdiction
SJOTUS. They’re clowns, it’s a joke.
B/c, SCOTUS would then quickly issue a “non placet” order.
I am sure the Pope has already thought of a way around that in his ruling.
