U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated on Thursday that a Texas law that grants state regulators the authority to arrest and imprisonment immigrants who enter the country fraudulently is illegal.
Mayorkas and Guatemala President Bernardo Arévalo spoke at a joint press event in the country’s money.
According to Mayorkas,” We have a very strong opinion as a matter of law that SB4 ( the Texas law ) is unconstitutional, and we hope and pray that the courts will overturn it with justice.”
The Texas law passed last month may permit the condition to arrest and imprisonment people who enter the country without legal permission. The United States Justice Department has criticized the legislation as a flagrant violation of federal law.
A three- determine section of the 5th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard claims on the Texas rules Wednesday, but did not rule. The statute is currently on hold.
