"Texas Migrant Arrests Blocked by Appeals Court Extension"

A federal appeals court has extended the block on a Texas immigration law allowing local law enforcement to arrest those suspected of entering the country illegally. The court's decision continues the legal battle surrounding the legislation, which criminalizes entry into Texas outside of a port of entry. The Biden administration had urged the justices to block the law, arguing it was an unprecedented intrusion into federal immigration enforcement. Plaintiffs in the case have welcomed the ruling, stating that it prevents the law from being enforced until the court rules on its constitutionality.
