Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor gave a strict rebuke of her colleagues Tuesday for inviting “chaos and crisis” after the high court lifted a pause on controversial legislation giving Texas broad powers to enforce immigration law at the U.S.-Mexico border.while the question of its legality plays out in lower courts. But S.B. 4 quickly went back on hold later Tuesday following an appeals court decision.
Barrett suggested that the decision to let the Texas law go into effect stemmed from the technicalities of the appeals process, rather than support for S.B. 4.“So far as I know, this Court has never reviewed the decision of a court of appeals to enter – or not enter – an administrative stay,” she wrote in her opinion, which was joined by fellow conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
