On Monday, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott endorsed expansive new measures empowering law enforcement to apprehend migrants crossing the U.S. border unlawfully.

This legislation also grants local judges the authority to issue directives for them to exit the country, pushing the boundaries of a state’s jurisdiction in enforcing immigration laws.

Critics characterize the law as the most significant state-level effort to regulate immigration since the contentious 2010 Arizona law, often criticized as the “Show Me Your Papers” bill, which was largely invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Given that immigration enforcement falls under federal jurisdiction, Texas’ legislation is expected to encounter rapid legal challenges, the Associated Press reported.
