Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has expressed support for state Gov. Greg Abbott’s order to transport illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C.

In an interview with Fox, Paxton acknowledged that a 2012 Supreme Court case blocks states from making their own immigration policies, saying the case could be a “problem for Texas.” However, the Supreme Court now has a 6–3 conservative majority and might take a fresh look at the issue, he suggested, while adding that the 2012 case was “wrongly decided.”
