Federal Appeals Court Okays Texas' Law Allowing the Arrest and Jailing of Illegal Aliens

Greg Abbott
@GregAbbott_TX
BREAKING HUGE NEWS
Federal appeals court allows Texas immigration law to take effect.
Law enforcement officers in Texas are now authorized to arrest & jail any illegal immigrants crossing the border.

Texas passed a law making the crime of illegal entry into the US a Texas crime in addition to a federal one. This gives Texas law enforcement the right to enforce this Texas law, even if Biden decides he's a King and can unilaterally repeal the federal law.

A federal appeals court has blessed the law.

CNN holds out hope:

Federal appeals court to allow controversial Texas immigration law to take effect, if SCOTUS doesn't intervene

A federal appeals court granted a temporary stay of a lower court's decision to block the enforcement of a controversial Texas immigration law, paving the way for it to go into effect this week if the Supreme Court doesn't intervene.
Last week, a federal judge in Austin, Texas, blocked the state government from implementing Senate Bill 4, which would allow state law enforcement authorities to arrest and detain people they suspect of entering the country illegally.
Judge David Alan Ezra wrote in his Thursday decision to halt the law that "If allowed to proceed, SB 4 could open the door to each state passing its own version of immigration laws."

Oh, no!!!

Texas appealed the ruling, with Republican Gov. Greg Abbott saying, "We will not back down in our fight to protect our state -- and our nation -- from President Biden's border crisis."
Over the weekend, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay of Ezra's decision but put its ruling on hold for seven days, allowing time for the Biden administration to go to the Supreme Court.

I still do not expect this law to survive in the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court in 2012 largely struck down a similar measure in Arizona dubbed the "Show me your papers" law. The high court concluded the federal government had the power to block the law but let stand a controversial provision allowing police to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the US illegally.

But Texas is now citing the power of states to resist "invasion" as granting it the power to defend its own borders. The Supreme Court may buy into this claim, but I'm pessimistic.

Let's just say that 4 of those justices on the 2012 court are gone now. 3 of them voted in favor of the federal government (RBG, Breyer, and Kennedy).

Kennedy has been replaced by Kavanaugh. RBG has been replaced by ACB. Breyer has been replaced by KJB.

The last, Scalia, was replaced by Gorsuch who has been very amenable to western state concerns on SCOTUS.

I mean...I dunno, but I don't think it'll be terribly one sided either way.

I'm not seeing the issue.

Citizens have right to travel, so we're good.

A lot of US laws are a total patchwork. See knife and gun laws for example. My CCW from WA doesn't get recognized in OR. What knives are legal or illegal can vary based on what county I'm in and what cop wants to make it a big deal.

Tax laws are all over the place too. It's a genuine strategy for big companies to operate with a generic tax strategy until the locals go to court to prove they're not following local law, then to follow the ordered court tax strategy. This isn't because they're intentionally thumbing their nose at the tax law, it's because tax law changes so much according to different zones, districts, states, counties, etc. it's literally cheaper to do it this way than to find an expert for each of these areas and follow their recommendations.

Soo who cares if our immigration laws are a patchwork too?

37 This is a tricky one.

I have no problem booting out illegals, but cops cannot violate the 4A and just demand ID at any time.

They need RAS (reasonable articulation of suspicion) of a crime to demand ID. What is RAS for being an illegal alien?

I say arrest them at every spot an ID is required in gubmint environments, like the DMV, or
welfare office. Any any time they are arrested for other crimes.

I want TX to go medieval on these invaders.

69 Shockingly, very little DU discussion on this. Guess it got overshadowed by the CO/Trump decision? They've been pretty quiet on immigration in general, though...it's a losing issue for them, and it's splitting their base.

More infuriating Christo-fascist bullshit from the 5th circuit AKA "the trump circuit". Cite me for contempt of that court, because that's all I have for it.

At what point do they make a show of burning the Constitution? Immigration is explicitly Federal. We have to get a handle on these states going off and doing their own thing, they're populations and the country be damned. Somehow, someone with judicial or fed law enforcement has got to call them on this crap. If not... they might as well secede; they've done it all but in name now! THAT'S why the Federal Gov was formed... to keep us from nightmares like this.

If I understand this correctly, this law will, essentially, allow Texas police to arrest anyone they want under the premise they "suspect" they are illegal immigrants? Isn't this literally the "papers please" law that was ruled unconstitutional in Arizona?

83 69 At what point do they make a show of burning the Constitution? Immigration is explicitly Federal. We have to get a handle on these states going off and doing their own thing, they're populations and the country be damned. Somehow, someone with judicial or fed law enforcement has got to call them on this crap. If not... they might as well secede; they've done it all but in name now! THAT'S why the Federal Gov was formed... to keep us from nightmares like this.

If I understand this correctly, this law will, essentially, allow Texas police to arrest anyone they want under the premise they "suspect" they are illegal immigrants? Isn't this literally the "papers please" law that was ruled unconstitutional in Arizona?

130 So Texas arrests them for illegally entering Texas. I have two questions that maybe people more sophisticated than me can answer:

1. What is to prevent Texas - or any other state under this precedent - from enforcing such provisions against American citizens or legal residents? Is it because there is no law against a citizen entering Texas? If Texas were to pass such a law, presumably it would fail a Constitutional test because free movement of citizens is a given, but I am curious nonetheless.

2. What can Texas do with these people once arrested? Can Texas deport them, or is deportation still solely in the purview of the FedGov? If it is still purely federal, then will Texas' best approach be to just build a prison complex in the desert and lock them all in it until the FedGov is willing to deport?

Doesn't work that way. 5th circuit's stay on the district judge is valid until either Scotus takes up the case and decides otherwise or the judge actually goes through a trial allowing both sides to make a case rather than through the injunction route.

Personally, Scotus has the power to simply not hear the case as three Dem justices are not enough to actually grant cert (have to have 4). Thus, the border would remain open in states west of Texas but not Texas itself.

If TX goes medieval, the point is to make being an illegal alien not worth it so the invaders voluntarily leave, and those thinking about invading think twice.

The way the ruling came down is proper (ID while enforcing other laws), because if a 4A violation occurs, the alien stays.

Depends on whether you mean a Terry stop or not.

Stop and identify was used by city watch and militias during the hours of night and you can even see an example of it in Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing.

The basic idea is that in public, especially in hours of darkness, the authorities have the power to stop people and require identification to prevent crime. The frisk part came about from officer safety to pat down people for weapons if the police officer has articulable objective facts using a totality of circumstances that a crime has or is about to be committed.

At the time, since no explicit bar nor permission from the federal government existed on immigration laws, the Court decided that all immigration enforcement by states is preempted unless Congress changes the law.

Some of this is a bit different in that Texas is criminalizing trespass which it can normally do on state lands including government owned land and easements which includes the north bank of the Rio Grande. A bit different than Arizona's law.

"Shall and Must" have a concrete definition and standing in constitutional obligation/responsibility jargon, in ALL legal jargon.

“It’s impossible to tell if abortion rights won’t come into question in the future in France,” Mathilde Panot, head of the left-wing France Unbowed group in the National Assembly, told POLITICO. “It’s important to capitalize when we have public on our side.”
She said that Macron only acted thanks to “the work of feminist organizations and parliamentarians.”

From politico. Yuck.

Anyway, the EU is dumb and they don’t understand what happened here, wait….like the entire left.

Feminism has spent decades convincing women that straight men are attracted to women who look like dudes, and then they're confused when a guy doesn't want to marry a woman that is trying to look like a man.

The loudest sentence in today’s opinion is the one that’s not there. The Court had a chance to absolve Trump of having engaged in insurrection against the United States and declined to do that, which is a stunning statement by our nation’s highest court.

That would be called "dicta" as it wasn't part of the argument before the court and irrelevant to their ruling.

292 I have a huge problem with Terry. Common Law not withstanding, it doesn't pass Constitutional muster. That's one of the points of the Constitution. Common Law is easily followed into tyranny, and the Constitution checks precedent.

The Constitution says due process and security in papers and belongings. It doesn't say, "unless an older Common Law precedent allows us to pretend otherwise."

Hate to tell ya Joe but originalism uses common law (which was almost all criminal law) at the Founding as an example of what the Framers viewed. Security of papers and belongings is read narrowly for example and always has been outside of the home or business.

Due process itself does not create a separate right but instead is a process must be in place to protect them--in this case imprisonment etc. Due process then would be to support the warrant of the 4th provisions and that has been basically limited since the founding to places and things that you can exclude others via property rights.

And before Katz, basically in public, your rights were negligible over privacy which is a modern conception of the law and how common law informed our constitution.

They are so anti-human that they'll do anything to not be one.

One of the most amazing things about the modern's left's body modification movement is how they intentionally make themselves look like traditional representations of demons.

Hell, remember the statue of Baphomet that the left was dragging to state houses to "celebrate religious belief"? They had their statue based on Levi's drawing of the beast as a human-animal hermaphrodite.

It really is not their place as a Court of Opinion.

I was afraid that this case could resolve for Trump but in a way where the fed takes just a little more power of elections away from the state.

However, I think that the SCOTUS' point of saying that states should not be making state-wide decisions as a sort of policing of federal amendments to have threaded the needle.

The problem is essentially without originalism of some form, whether intent or textualism, the Constitution itself becomes unmoored and malleable. The whole Living Constitutionalism movement itself is based on Positivism that the law should be whatever Scotus says it to be based on the Great Principles of the Constitution and Critical Legal Theory goes beyond even that and argue it should be viewed as a document that permits positive discrimination to minority groups and punish white privilege embodied in the document.

That *can* work, but with two downsides:
1. It's transactional. You have to have *and* keep having money, or the gold-digger will leave.
2. It takes a whole lot of money. You have to both be rich and be rich enough to look rich while still being rich. If you're rich enough to appear rich and wear your money (and drive your money, etc.) but not rich enough to do that *and* actually have amassed enough assets to keep paying for all that, you're not actually rich enough to pull it off. Most of the actually rich people are the ones without mortgages and driving around in payment-free Camrys and with a few hundred grand in the bank - but that's all invisible and so can't be used as an attractor from the start. Being rich enough to have all that and be wearing designer brands and driving flashy cars and having boats and stuff means you're stupendously rich. And yeah, different rules apply to the stupendously rich.

356 306 The nose ring thing mystifies me.

I don't like tattoos either but...a nose ring signifies something like a bull (not sexy) and its sticking a permanent hole in a part of your body that produces mucus (very not sexy)
Posted by: 18-1 at

I have a nose piercing. Not a septum piercing, so no bull look here and I don’t wear a ring, I have a tiny diamond stud. I blow my nose like everyone else, it doesn’t go shooting out the side of my nose like a geyser. It’s a very tiny hole. I use saline to keep things clear when I have a cold or allergies. I would do this if I didn’t have a piercing because who likes a stuffy nose? There is no difference at all from the pierced side to the non pierced side. I don’t want mucus hanging out in either nostril.

357 The whole Living Constitutionalism movement itself is based on Positivism that the law should be whatever Scotus says it to be based on the Great Principles of the Constitution and Critical Legal Theory goes beyond even that and argue it should be viewed as a document that permits positive discrimination to minority groups and punish white privilege embodied in the document.

That positivism ignores that it wasn't experts that gave those words meaning, but an understanding of the people who ratified it in the 3/4 of states.

Which is why I think this system, at least as it evolved, gave too much anti-republican weight to judges.

"It's 'cuz I'm black!"
"I work for the mayor!"

Philadelphia's executive director of the Office of LGBT Affairs, Celena Morrison, was arrested on Saturday along with her husband following a traffic stop.

Morrison was pulled over due to her vehicle having multiple violations. Her husband - Darius McLean - pulled behind the police car which prompted the officer to approach him.

As you can see in this video which was shot by Morrison and uploaded (but now deleted) by her sister, her husband was verbally combative, and according to police resisted arrest (you can see he wasn't too compliant at first).

"It's 'cuz I'm black!" McLean yelled.

During her husband's arrest you can hear Morrison shouting "I work for the mayor!" - seemingly in an effort to get out of the situation.

393 Being rich enough to have all that and be wearing designer brands and driving flashy cars and having boats and stuff means you're stupendously rich. And yeah, different rules apply to the stupendously rich.

This is actually an interesting point I've seen brought up before in places like Whatever. A lot of women have no idea how to identify a successful, or potentially successful man any more because they are looking for the flashy car or expensive name brand shoes.

If you are say an engineer making good money, own your own house, don't go to clubs, have an old car and...dress like an engineer you are a grey man to most women.

Now...this is another area where we have regressed as a society. I suspect the average woman in 1960 had a better idea of what an "upperwardly mobile" man looked like then compared to now...

You can’t live and work in Austin and not have interactions with normal people, even if you’re a bleeding heart. So inon-left wing ideas are part of your world as a leftie and they deep into society.

Compare that with San Francisco where it’s 1000% left wing every hour of every day.

398 here's the thing - the progressives don't have a leg to stand on.

The Fed law says illegal immigration is illegal, and they must face deportation. Biden is declining to enforce the law. Issues with that aside, that doesn't prevent Texas from passing their own law that mirror fed law and enforcing that. Courts have always blessed that action - why wouldn't you want both the state and the feds enforcing the same law?

Hence unless the federal law says the states can't do this, then they can. It actually shows Biden is a liar - they don't want it enforced and want to prevent Texas from enforcing it.

In a much broader but perhaps similar philosophical sense, if you don't believe in Original Sin in Man, then you can believe that Man is perfectable on Earth. Because you reject a Supreme Being, and the fallen nature of man. If there are no shared objective moorings and values to life, and everything is up for grabs, it invites the most dangerous sociopaths and psychopaths to grab for power. And history is replete with those examples....Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol-Pot, etc.

426 I lived in Austin for a decade (almost a decade ago). I knew plenty of normal people, whether on the right or just apolitical. But overall it is very far to the left and has gotten worse in that regard, evolving from a Bohemian "keep Austin weird" mindset to just standard strip-mall progressivism. Even the non-leftists there often have danger hair and a full sleeve of tattoos. Austin probably seems not as bad as some other cities because it remains pretty white (and so avoids some of the more destructive antics that diversity brings).

427 Thread popped up the same time reading, "It's been unsettling for these migrants," in the Philadelphia Daily News - Inquirer, today. What a load of horses**t.

Today, community organizers estimate that roughly 1,000 asylum seekers (mostly males) from West Africa countries have come to Philadelphia since fall. They've settled among southwest Philly's large African immigrant communities but the influx of new arrivals has gone largely unnoted or ignored by Philadelphians, organizers say.
The search for opportunity; dreams to disillusion; oh-me--oh-my, no on knew. "It was an eye-opening experience for everyone, including us since there had been no media coverage on this new trend of arrivals from West African nations, said Amy Eusebio, executive director of the Office of Immigrant Affairs"(who apparently owns neither TV/ radio or reads but neither does her staff, it would appear. Ha).
