US Supreme Court lets strict Texas immigration law take effect allowing state to detain, deport migrants

The United States Supreme Court, on Tuesday (Mar 19) lifted the pause on a controversial Republican-backed law in Texas which would allow the state’s law enforcement officials to detain and deport migrants on charges of illegally entering the country from the US-Mexico border. 

The court with a six-three conservative majority, rejected President Joe Biden’s administration’s bid to block the law.
