The White House is threatening to sue the state of Texas if a recently passed immigration law goes into effect. The law allows local cops to arrest anybody who they believe crossed the border illegally. The Justice Department claims the law is unconstitutional and will disrupt the federal government's immigration enforcement operations. Earlier this month the ACLU sued Texas, calling the legislation "patently illegal."
