"Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Texas Immigration Law Allowing Police Arrest of Illegal Border Crossers"

A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction to temporarily halt the implementation of Texas' SB 4 immigration law, which would allow local and state law enforcement to arrest migrants suspected of entering the state illegally. Texas Governor Greg Abbott plans to appeal the decision, citing the need to protect the state from the border crisis. The judge's ruling questions the law's constitutionality and its potential impact on federal immigration regulation, while advocacy groups celebrate the temporary victory and prepare for continued legal battles.
