SCOTUS hears arguments challenging Biden immigration priorities

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court examined the Biden Administration’s authority to prioritize which illegal migrants to deport when hearing a challenge brought by two Republican state attorneys general who say the Department of Homeland Security is skirting federal immigration law. The Supreme Court justices are considering litigation brought by Texas and Louisiana to stop implementation of a Department of Homeland Security memo from last year that instructs immigration agents to prioritize the arrests and deportations of immigrants who threaten national security or public safety.
