Gov. Abbott’s border crackdown Operation Lone Star violates U.S. Constitution, Travis County judge says (illegal, attorney)

[Roboteer]

Someone was bound to pull this.

My only question is:

How can any state "obstruct or discriminate" something (enforcement of immigration federal laws) that doesn't exist? And hasn't existed for many months?

Gov. Abbott’s border crackdown Operation Lone Star violates U.S. Constitution, Travis County judge says

Gov. Greg Abbott’s border enforcement effort violates the U.S. Constitution, a Travis County state district judge on Thursday ruled, threatening Operation Lone Star's future and opening the gates to a flood of court challenges.

Travis County state District Judge Jan Soifer's ruling came in a legal challenge to the detention of a man from Ecuador who is seeking asylum. The man at the center of Thursday's hearing — Jesus Alberto Guzman Curipoma, an engineer with no criminal history — was arrested Sept. 17 at a railroad switching yard on a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge in Kinney County, along the Texas-Mexico border about 200 miles south of Austin. He has since been released on bond and remains in Texas.

Guzman Curipoma's attorney contended that Abbott’s operation violates the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, which stipulates that federal laws supersede state laws and that states cannot “obstruct or discriminate” with enforcement of immigration federal laws.

So our states aren't allowed to protect themselves from an illegal invasion when the feds fail to do so? Huh?

I find this hard to believe, zoning laws are locally decided. If a border town allows permits for 20 foot tall walls that is within the prerogative of the landowner to build that wall. He is free to have it financed by the state of any third party. Same for state owned property.

It's called property rights, must be a disturbing concept for progressives

I see that there are FEDERAL LAWS that supersede state laws. Those laws are being enforced. Apparently, we are missing something in this story. Like was Guzman already in the system trying for asylum. Was he released by the Federal court waiting for his hearing on his application? So some items are missing.

.

Federal immigration laws most certainly exist.
They just may not exist in the way that you want them to exist.
