Accuracy
The law makes entering Texas illegally a state crime and allows state judges to order immigrants to be deported.
Texas's law, which allows state officials to arrest migrants and state courts to order them deported to Mexico, violates 150 years of settled law establishing that the federal government gets to decide which foreign nationals may enter or remain in the United States.

Fallacies

The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the Supreme Court's decision without providing any context or explanation for it. They also use inflammatory rhetoric when describing the law as a 'positive development' and calling it 'unwise'. Additionally, they make a false dilemma by stating that either the law will be enforced immediately or not at all, ignoring other options such as further legal challenges. The author also uses an example of a slippery slope fallacy when suggesting that Texas may use this law to enforce other laws in the future.

Bias
(85%)
The authors demonstrate bias by using language that depicts one side as extreme or unreasonable. They describe the law as 'controversial' and 'raising concerns among immigration advocates of increased racial profiling'. The use of the word 'extremist' to describe far-right ideologies is also an example of biased language.
GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been dog-whistling to supporters of extremist far-right ideologies
raised concerns among immigration advocates of increased racial profiling as well as detentions and attempted deportations by state authorities in Texas, where Latinos represent 40% of the population.

The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the Supreme Court's ruling as a significant win for Texas' efforts to control illegal immigration across the border. However, this is not entirely accurate as the case now goes back to the Fifth Circuit again and could be blocked once more, setting up another Supreme Court battle. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Biden's refusal to recognize his fifth granddaughter born out of wedlock as a failure. This statement is not entirely accurate as it does not provide any context or information about the circumstances surrounding the birth and relationship between Biden and his granddaughter.

The Supreme Court handed down a brief order on Tuesday allowing an unconstitutional Texas state immigration law to go into effect.
Texas's law, which allows state officials to arrest migrants and state courts to order them deported to Mexico, violates 150 years of settled law establishing that the federal government gets to decide which foreign nationals may enter or remain in the United States.
The full Court did not explain itself but Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote a brief explanation for her vote on allowing Texas's law to take effect.
Barrett's concurring opinion is such a clear invitation to rogue judges who wish to game the judicial system that it is difficult to believe she agrees with it.
All three of the Court's Democratic appointees dissented from Barrett and Kavanaugh's decision.

The Supreme Court has allowed an unconstitutional Texas state immigration law to go into effect. The order is temporary but the result is shocking as it violates 150 years of settled law establishing that the federal government gets to decide which foreign nationals may enter or remain in the United States. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote a brief explanation, joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, of why she voted to allow the Texas law to take effect. Her opinion provides a road map for lower court judges hoping to shield their decisions from Supreme Court review.

Fallacies

The article by Ian Millhiser contains several logical fallacies. Firstly, there is an appeal to authority in the form of quoting past Supreme Court decisions without providing a clear argument as to why those decisions are applicable to this case (EXAMPLE: 'This principle, that the federal government has virtually exclusive authority over immigration policy, stretches back at least as far as the Court’s decision in Chy Lung v. Freeman (1875), which held that ‘the passage of laws which concern the admission of citizens and subjects of foreign nations to our shores belongs to Congress, and not to the states.’'). Secondly, there is a dichotomous depiction in the use of language such as 'unconstitutional' and 'shocking' (EXAMPLE: 'The Supreme Court handed down a brief order on Tuesday allowing an unconstitutional Texas state immigration law to go into effect. The case is known as United States v. Texas... Though this order is temporary, the result is shocking.'). Lastly, there are inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article such as 'dishonest', 'rogue judges' and 'game the judicial system' (EXAMPLE: 'The Supreme Court’s dishonest new border decision...').

The author of the article is biased towards Texas's law and attempts to downplay its unconstitutionality. The author also uses language that dehumanizes migrants by referring to them as 'migrants'. Additionally, the author quotes a conservative judge who supports Texas's law, which further reinforces their bias.
The author attempts to downplay the unconstitutionality of Texas's law by stating that it is temporary
The author quotes Justice Amy Coney Barrett who supports Texas's law
. The law, which empowers local officials to arrest and deport migrants who enter the country without authorization, was challenged by the Biden administration as an affront to federal power.
. Migrants crawling through razor wire into El Paso, Texas, after crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico last month.
. The Supreme Court temporarily sided with Texas on Tuesday in its increasingly bitter fight with the Biden administration over immigration policy
For now, though, Texas law enforcement officials will be allowed to arrest people suspected of crossing the border illegally.
Accuracy
They were returning the case to an appeals court for a prompt ruling on whether the law should be paused while an appeal moves forward
. For now, though, Texas law enforcement officials will be allowed to arrest people suspected of crossing the border illegally.
How long that remains true is now a question for the appeals court.
The three liberal members of the court – Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson – dissented
. Today, the court invites further chaos and crisis in 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.
That law upends the federal-state balance of power that has existed for over a century, in which the national government has had exclusive authority over entry and removal of noncitizens.
Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Texas has been allowed to enforce its aggressive immigration law permanently when in fact it's only a temporary measure. Secondly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'crawling through razor wire into El Paso' which creates an emotional response rather than providing accurate information. Thirdly, the article quotes Justice Barrett and Kavanaugh without disclosing their affiliation with conservative ideology.

The article shows a clear bias in favor of the Texas law and against the Biden administration's stance on immigration policy. The author uses phrases such as 'aggressive immigration law', 'affront to federal power', and 'bitter fight' to portray the state law as harsh, unconstitutional, and confrontational. He also quotes only from the Texas side of the dispute, without presenting any counterarguments or alternative perspectives from the Biden administration or other immigration experts. The author seems to take a partisan position on this issue by implying that states should have more authority over immigration matters than the federal government.
