The Department of Homeland Security had directed the state to stop blocking the U.S. Border Patrol’s access to roughly 2½ miles of the U.S.-Mexico border
Texas is refusing to comply with a cease-and-desist letter from the Biden administration over actions by the state that have impeded U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing part of the border with Mexico.
In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton rejected the Biden administration’s request for the state to “cease and desist” its takeover of Shelby Park, an epicenter of southwest border illegal immigration in Eagle Pass.
“Because the facts and law side with Texas, the State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court,” Paxton wrote.
states in the end decide if they want federal aid and services such as SNAP
US lets the states decide because it has devolved into a state’s right over federal country
That’s not what you said.
You said there should be federal laws. There are. Try taking pot across state lines via airplane and see if you get caught and which laws you get charged under.
depends on the state lines you cross and how that state or now city feels about it
some cities in the US are half illegal and half recreational and or medical so sometimes it is a half of the city line
the states also decide if they want to use federal or state laws when convicting not the federal government
anyone who has extensively travelled the US will see past the HOA looking veil
federal laws have devolved into something that allows states full control
