Texas asks court to decide if the state’s migrant arrest law went too far

Associated Press  

AUSTIN, Texas — An attorney defending Texas’ plans to arrest migrants who enter the U.S. illegally told a panel of federal judges Wednesday that it’s possible the law “went too far” but that will be up to the court to decide. Daniel Tenny, an attorney representing the U.S. government, said the state was attempting to “rewrite Texas SB4 from the podium with regard to the removal provision.” Richman, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, previously ruled in favor of temporarily halting the law. In the panel’s 2-1 decision last month, Richman cited a 2012 Supreme Court decision that struck down portions of a strict Arizona immigration law, including arrest power. The panel’s March 19 ruling came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for the Texas law to take effect.
