Republican-led states far from US-Mexico border rush to tighten immigration laws

Voice of America reports that “Republican-led states in the U.S. are rushing to give broader immigration enforcement powers to local police and impose criminal penalties for those living in the country illegally as the issue of migrants crossing the U.S. border remains central to the 2024 elections.”  The story details new laws in Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Iowa.  The story ends with a suggestion that, at some point, the Supreme Court will sort things out on the respective roles of the state and federal governments on immigration enforcement.
