Record-Breaking Migrant Crossings as Texas and Biden Administration Clash Over Immigration Law

The Biden administration threatens legal action against Texas' new law allowing the state to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, amidst a record-breaking number of migrants crossing the US-Mexico border.

• Texas has passed a new law, set to take effect on March 5, 2024, that allows the state to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, a move that the Biden administration has threatened to sue over, claiming it is unconstitutional and infringes on federal jurisdiction.
• December 2023 has seen a record-breaking 276,000 migrants cross the US-Mexico border, the highest number for a single month in history, with the total number of border encounters over the past three years reaching approximately 8 million.
• Texas Governor Greg Abbott has criticized the Biden administration for its immigration policies and has vowed to take the legal battle over the new law to the Supreme Court if necessary.
• Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas met with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to discuss the border crisis, but no specific agreements or policy shifts were announced.
• Major cities like New York, Chicago, and Denver are struggling to cope with the influx of migrants, with mayors calling for a federal declaration of emergency, financial support, and a national resettlement strategy.
