New Texas law could reshape state authority over the US border

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 15:00:57 GMT

AUSTIN (Nexstar) -- A new Texas law that allows the state to effectively deport undocumented migrants could test the balance of power between the states and the federal government, challenging years of legal precedent that has reserved the power to police the border to federal authorities.Senate Bill 4 authorizes state judges and police to order migrants back across the Rio Grande -- a deportation power reserved for federal agencies like Border Protection and ICE. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled in Arizona v. U.S. that the federal government's immigration laws supersede Arizona's efforts to regulate immigration at the state level. In that case, the Court halted a law that criminalized being unlawfully present in the United States -- very similar to Texas' Senate Bill 4.Gov. Greg Abbott said on Monday he "welcomes a Supreme Court decision that would overturn the precedent set in the Arizona case.""We believe this law has been crafted in a way that can and should be upheld by the cou...

SEATTLE - Former Missouri Tigers quarterback Drew Lock played hero on Monday Night Football, leading the Seattle Seahawks past the Philadelphia Eagles with a game-winning 92-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes. Lock and the Seahawks won 20-17 and took the lead with 28 seconds left in the game. After several timely plays, Lock found wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to give Seattle the lead. It was Lock's first victory in nearly three calendar years. He's dealt with adversity the last few seasons, losing his starting quarterback job with the Denver Broncos, being traded in a quarterback swap for Russell Wilson, then largely settling for a backup role in his first two seasons with Seattle. Lock reflected on his NFL journey in an emotional interview with ESPN reporter Lisa Salters just moments after the win: "That was amazing," said Lock on the comeback. "It's been a long time. I'm just blessed. Blessed with a great group of guys, a great city, a great coaching staff. It's awe...

Tom Brady, Peyton Manning endorse Christian McCaffrey’s MVP case

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 15:00:57 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Tom Brady says his NFL MVP vote is leaning toward the 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey, who also scored an endorsement Monday night from Peyton Manning.Such backing might be what McCaffrey needs to wrestle the Associated Press’ NFL MVP award away from quarterbacks, who’ve won it 16-of-17 years since Brady captured his first in 2007.Or the 50 voters — from national media outlets — could follow McCaffrey’s own advice, which, after the 49ers’ latest win Sunday in Arizona, was to cast support behind 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, the unanimous favorite of the Las Vegas sportsbooks.McCaffrey has the fifth-best odds, and the second-best belongs to quarterback Lamar Jackson, who leads the Baltimore Ravens (11-3) into Monday night’s game at the 49ers (11-3).McCaffrey, the NFL’s rushing leader, made the media rounds Monday, appearing on Brady’s “Let’s Go!” podcast and also on ESPN’s “Manni...
