The Texas House has approved a bill that would allow local and state peace officers to detain and remove people who they believe are in the country illegally to Mexico. The measure is seen as a direct challenge to federal power over immigration and is likely to set up a consequential court fight. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has also filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration for removing concertina wire along the state's border with Mexico. This comes after Biden officials shelved a plan to require migrants to remain in Texas while they wait for hearings, following local backlash.
