"Supreme Court Continues Freeze on Texas Immigration Law Amid Legal Challenges"

The U.S. Supreme Court extends the pause on Texas' immigration-enforcement law, Senate Bill 4, until next week, following a new lawsuit challenging the legislation. The law allows local and state police officers to arrest individuals suspected of being in Texas without authorization and empowers local judges to order a migrant to return to Mexico. The lawsuit, filed by the ACLU of Texas and the Texas Civil Rights Project, challenges SB4 on behalf of several organizations and individuals. Additionally, a separate lawsuit filed by MALDEF and the National Immigration Law Center seeks to halt SB4 on behalf of four immigrants and current Texas residents who could be subject to arrest under the law.
