Come to you 808 214000 cnn Breaking News we begin with our Breaking News. The Supreme Court is letting texas begin enforcing a controversial Immigration Policy that will allow State Officials to detain and arrest people they suspect have entered the country illegally. Immigration advocates have Raise Concerns that the law could lead to an increase in racial profiling detentions and attempted deportations in texas where latinos make up 40 of the population. Cnn Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic is joining us. Joan, and we understand now that the three liberal justices dissented. What can you tell us . Sure major news from the Supreme Court allowing this controversial texas law to take effect immediately that would allow texas State Officials are not federal officials who normally are in charge of immigration to arrest and detain migrants who cross the border at your ride. The majority did not explain its reasoning seen briana, but three dissenting justices did explain why they dont think this law should take effect. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown jackson said this today, the court invites further chaos and crisis and immigration enforcement. Texas passed a law that directly regulates the entry and removal of noncitizens and explicitly instructs its state courts to disregard any ongoing federal immigration proceedings. The law appends federal state Balance Of Power that has existed for over a century. And then the third liberal joining in was Justice Elena kagan, who said the subject of immigration generally, and the entry and removal of noncitizens thats particularly are matters long thought. The special province of the federal government. And thats the point here. Briana youre looking at all the human drama at the border right now with those pictures and weve just seen so much turmoil as migrants have tried to make their way to america across the river there. But what this is about at this Point Is Essentially State Powers Versus Federal powers. And as it said, its been for more than a century that the federal government has had control of immigration. And this is the first time any kind of law like this is being allowed to be enforced. But let me just stress that this is not the end of anything were just very early in, actually the Legal Proceedings on the merits of this law. Governor abbott signed it into law back in december. It was challenged by the Biden Administration and immigrate Immigration Rights groups and the lowercourt, the Fifth Circuit, thats based in new orleans is going to hold a hearing on the merits on april 3rd which could begin to change some things, but its that court that had said that this law should be able to take effect. And today, the majority agreed with it. The only two justices in the majority, and it was the concern derivative dominated majority. The only two justices of that group to write to explain anything. Were justices amy coney, barrett and Brett Kavanaugh and they concurred in the Majority Decision im talking about how they didnt want to second guess the Fifth Circuit and it wasnt proceeds really proper and their mind for the Supreme Court to intervene at this point. But by, by this decision they essentially shaped whats going to happen at the border. Now, even if months or years from now, things change. But for now, as i said that a very potent state law is going to take effect in an experiment in a state executing what is normally the purview of the federal government is going to be playing out and well see that Joan Biskupic. Thank you so much. I want to go now to priscilla alvarez, who was at the white house. Priscilla, what is the white house saying well, they have not yet weighed in on what the Supreme Court decided here, but this is a Significant Development in this ongoing feud between the white house and Texas Governor greg abbott. Of course, the governor has launched his own Border Mission that has been spurred controversy and pushback from the white house. And just yesterday, the White House Press secretary was asked about this law and she said that this was just another example of how the Texas Governor has politicized the border. And then she also punted to the doj filings and what they have said about this law and what they have said is that this is a federal Law Enforcement is charged with enforcing immigration law. Thats what it was unusual about this state law. To begin with. So its very unclear at this point how this is going to be executed. Operationally, i have been in touch with Homeland Security officials in the minutes since weve seen this and they have all been surprised. And its also unclear to them what happens next. Of course, were talking specifically about the texas mexico border here, but there is no doubt, brianna, that this has been a politically vulnerable issue four the white house for president biden, even as he has tried to seize on border security. And this is going to mark another development in this feud between him and the Texas Governor, where it goes from here, still unclear. The white house is going to expect, going to issue a statement on this, and well get that to you as soon as we get it. All right. Well be looking for that. Priscilla alvarez at the white house. Thank you. Boris all right. I think were going to get bohrs is microphone there reestablished as i bring in the maire and i will hand off to boris as soon as we get that figured out. Maire, im just going to stand in probably for one question here. Dr. Victor trevino with us can you just give us your reaction to the Supreme Court ruling that allows State Officials and texas to arrest and detain people that they suspect of entering the country illegally. Well, first of all, thank you for having me i think this is an important issue because this is the parser from a century old the federal laws overseeing immigration. And i think this is a great concern not only to us that 95 hispanic here on the border, but are Trading Partners that my chain, they concerning message being mexico, the largest Trading Partner for the us. This is very concerning and we have to look at this in another way that local Enforcement Officials are policemen, dont have the Training Immigration Officer to deal with this situations. So anybody can be profiled, even including me. I can get stopped. And thats where my documents i dont have them. I mean, you could be arrested and then later on, as to produce my my citizenship. So these are things that are very concerning and we have to look at this and way that we have to understand that federal lawsuit and state laws that for us its concerning because we need direction on to how which lotto forward this point mayor. We were fortunate to get that mic issue fixer. Thank you for being with us on that question. Of the problems caused by local Law Enforcement handling what is typically what are typically duties handled by customs and border protection. I was speaking with brandon judd. Hes the head of the Border Patrol union and he was essentially arguing that people should put their faith in local Law Enforcement, that they will get the training, that they will get. What they need in order to carry out these State Policies im curious to get your reaction to that specifically because it sounds like youre very skeptical it is a difficult situation because we have limited resources here. We dont have the Jail Capacity to the house. All these people that would be arrested, we dont have with shortness, it is a Police Officers. So that is another added burden that think would be very important. So these are things that have to look itd be looked at a better way. Theres better ways to handle this as by, by national collaboration. I think would work better. And we dont want to send a concerning message to our Trading Partners. We have received letters already from our counterparts across the border and for me, even State Officials here saying that this good cause train and the relationships being that its a number one Trade Partner of the us yeah, theres also the question of once those folks that have been put in the system, what youre saying, the legal system has already strained once those folks are already processed and they serve whatever time the state deems that they should sir, for being undocumented does the state have any clarity on how theyre going to get those folks back out of the country because it doesnt seem from my reading of sb4 that thats made clear a lot of those immigrants arent even from mexico. So what is texas going to do with them . That, is another situation. And that is why Immigration Officers need to handle this and not the local police officer. This is a federal issue, not as a state or a local issue. And i think this needs to be looked at and thought and a better process. Theres Better Things to do. We have a lot of difficulties that we have to look at if that comes about and more so, one of the main things is the racial profiling and financial devastation to our local communities. Yeah mayor. The other question i had for you was about the way that sb4, whether its constitutional or not, speaks to a desperation among communities at the border like yours that have had a serious difficulty with the unprecedented numbers of migrants crossing the border and have not seen much action from the federal government when it comes to Immigration Reform. We just saw a Bipartisan Senate bill not even get a chance on the floor of the house. Whats your message to federal lawmakers on what they need to do to ensure that Something Like sb4 doesnt even need to happen well, first of all, we need to understand were not democrats or republicans when the deal with this, we have to get together and get a good Immigration Reform going because this is long overdue. Its been overdue for decades so anybody thats tries to force any Immigration Laws with antiquated rules is dysfunctional. So we have to get a binational cooperation and get this Immigration Laws fixed. We work and live here at the border understand what the real situation is, and how it can be handled. Rather than people but miles away trying to understand what the border is like. It, you have to live and work here to understand. And my Point Of View is that you have to get countries involved to do a common sense Immigration Reform, rather than putting bandaids on the situation or putting border walls mayor dr. Victory today arena, we very much appreciate your time. I send thanks from brianna as well right now, retired generals who had been in charge of the chaotic us exit from afghanistan in 2021 are testifying on capitol hill. This is the first time that general mark milley in general, Kenneth Mackenzie are speaking to lawmakers since they left the pentagon and entrance civilian life and the two former military leaders paid tribute to the 13 american troops who were killed outside of Hamid Karzai International airport by a Suicide Bombing back in 2021, it happened in august of that year when the us evacuated thousands of afghans and americans as the taliban took control of the country three remains my opinion that if there was culpability in this attack, it lies and Policy Decisions that created the environment of august 2021 and column, if theres fault, it lies in a Policy Decision that placed the joint force in this situation and expose the force over time to the possibility of these kinds of attacks santa National Security and politics correspondent Natasha Bertrand has been following the hearing. Natasha, what more we learning about what theyve said about what happened in afghanistan . Yeah, brasil, one of the big themes of this hearing really has been tension between the pentagon and the State Department. And these two generals really underscoring the point that they believe that this Evacuation Operation, which we saw ended so chaotically in august of 2021, was delayed and delayed and delayed, and that is the reason why the events of that august and the chaos that we saw unfold took place according to general mackenzie, he was asking for the State Departments plan for an Evacuation Operation. Really up until that point up until august when they finally gave that order in that plan to begin the noncombatants Evacuation Operation and his his sense was that a lot of the chaos that unfolded could have been avoided if this was done sooner. Heres a little bit of what he said about the kind of backandforth that occurred during that time period so, chairman, every every embassy has an Evacuation Plan for afghanistan and Embassy Cobble had had a plan, had what we would call an f 77 lists, which is the list of us citizens and their families that are in the country and we struggled to gain access to that plan and work with them over the months of july until we finally got a decision to execute the neo, which as ive already mentioned, occurred on the 14th Of August. Now we we worked with the embassy before then, but we didnt have authority to move out and do the things that you have to do to make a neo happen until the 14th in july correction the 14th Of August. And as i noted, we were in extremis at that point so the 14th Of August thats a really important date because that really was simply one day before the taliban was able to overrun kabul and it was really, as he said, an extremity that the us military was under extreme pressure at that point to try to execute this very complex noncombatants Evacuation Operation is very large operation and they are saying that it was so delayed that it really just made it all the more chaotic. Now, of course, the State Department, on the other hand, was trying to delay it because they didnt want there to be chaos in the government. They didnt want to undermine the african government to the extent that it would then rapidly collapse. And so they were trying to maintain a diplomatic presence for as long as possible. But of course that kind of backfired according to what the generals are saying here. And another big theme of this has been that they recommended to the president that the us ultimately keep roughly 2,500 us troops in afghanistan and in order to maintain that level of stability and hold the taliban back. But of course, the president ultimately chose a different path. Briana all right. Natasha bertrand, life for us from the pentagon. Thank you for that report.
