The Supreme Court on Friday handed the Biden administration a major victory on a key immigration case – ruling that GOP-led states do not have standing to challenge a policy narrowing federal immigration enforcement.

8-1 ruling. Justice Samuel Alito was the sole dissenting justice.

That is true. Of course, it’s always been true. Illegals have been ignored by feds for ages while officially, well, they are ILLEGAL. THAT seems to be when states and locals had standing to complain, that it WASNT BEING ENFORCED.

In a way now, the feds are scaling back their rules to fit what they actually perform. So perhaps locals cannot complain about it not being enforced.

Pres Trump proved that it is completely under the Executive Branch.

Executive Branch decisions on border security are temporary. What one president does can be undone by the next president, as Biden proved starting on his first day in office, which saw a tidal wave of illegal aliens pouring in. Lasting border security in the form of a manned border wall will require Congressional cooperation, and that's always been lacking due to Republican establishment types.

The real falt is the open ambiguity in the law that gives the executive too much leeway to its own interpretation. If the law was less ambiguous and spelled out less leeway for executive interpetation, that states could have argued that Biden was not “following the law”, but, as bad as it is the SCOTUS seems to be saying the horrible ICE policy is “not against the law”.

Congres is dominated by lawyers either in the elected offices or in their staffs that actually write the laws. Then those lawayers are dominated by Progressives and Leftists that want a strong executive, not a strong Congress, and they write the laws that leave so much to executive interpretation. Thwy are the arhitects of the administrative state regardless of the fact that they are elected to be the “democratic branch of government representing the people”.

Is SCOTUS saying the feds are omnipotent?

*************

I think we already know the answer to that broader question. The entrenched power structure is all powerful.

Federalism is but a quaint philosophical concept.

but once the illegals are in the states themselves, that’s a different story

You have a pretty good take on it.

But then, indeed, what do we know.

"Now, I would gather this to mean that states can create their own ICE and prosecute/deport as they see fit within the confines of their state where the FEDS can’t intervene."

That would be nice...

If the States don’t have standing, who does? Is SCOTUS saying the feds are omnipotent?

Pick them up and dump them in a "sanctuary" state.

How did they get this wrong? Literally, one of the few roles of the federal government is to protect our borders...no?

The SCOTUS just declared that we no longer have a Federal Government, but rather a Central Government.

Another way to look at this, Biden owns the issue of our swamped open border more than he might like.

Article 4 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.

When it comes to enforcing the borders of the United States, yes.

Then who punishes the feds for failing to do their job of enforcement?

I want to learn more about this case, and the specific legal issues involved.

Clearly this case did not have a liberal/conservative split in the vote, because even most conservatives voted for this.

Yep, dem holes are sometimes hard to plug up.
Too much lax being used.

Nominally, the voters.
