In a stunning blow to Texas law enforcement, a federal judge, the honorable David Alan Ezra, halted the implementation of a crucial law on Thursday. The law, known as SB 4, permitted local police to apprehend migrants crossing into the state without proper authorization. Judge Ezra, a distinguished Reagan appointee, strongly rebuked the law in a whopping 114-page decision, claiming it undermines the singular voice that should regulate immigration in the United States.
This ruling has sparked fury among conservatives who believe that states should have considerable authority in protecting their borders. The idea that Texas couldn’t enforce its own laws to safeguard its citizens is preposterous! Judge Ezra’s decision sets a dangerous precedent where each state would no longer follow a uniform rule on immigration.

Governor Abbott, in a commendable effort to address the surge in illegal border crossings, signed SB 4 into law. But now, this essential tool to maintain law and order has been snatched away by a federal judge. It’s a sad day when unelected officials meddle in the affairs of a state trying to protect its sovereignty.
Furthermore, the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice has shamelessly sued Texas, arguing that federal laws automatically override state laws. This overreach by the federal government is outrageous! It’s time for patriots to rally against this intrusion and stand up for states’ rights.
What’s next? Will they stop Texas from enforcing traffic laws next? This is an assault on the foundation of our republic, and conservatives must unite to push back against this blatant disregard for the rule of law and common sense.
