Texas and Arizona Take Immigration Matters into Their Own Hands Amid Federal Criticism

As the migrant crisis intensifies, states are implementing their own measures, sparking tension with the Biden administration and setting the stage for potential legal battles.

• Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new law making illegal immigration a state crime, allowing local law enforcement to arrest migrants and judges to issue orders removing them to Mexico.
• The Biden administration has criticized the law as 'extreme', arguing that immigration regulation is a federal responsibility.
• Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has mobilized the National Guard to the Lukeville port of entry, criticizing the federal government for not providing sufficient resources to manage the influx of migrants.
• Former President Donald Trump continues to use harsh language against migrants in his campaign for the 2024 election, drawing comparisons to Nazi Germany.
• President Joe Biden's administration is reportedly considering major immigration restrictions, including turning back migrants at the US-Mexico border without giving them the chance to seek asylum.
