"Federal Appeals Court Considers Fate of Texas Immigration Enforcement Law"

TL;DR Summary
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments over Texas' Senate Bill 4, which allows police to arrest migrants who illegally cross into the U.S. from Mexico. The law was temporarily blocked by a 2-1 ruling, with the Supreme Court indicating it could take effect. The Department of Justice has sued Texas, arguing that immigration laws are under federal jurisdiction. The White House has criticized the law as "harmful and unconstitutional," while Texas Governor Greg Abbott has defended it as a means to enhance border security.
