Texas S.B. 4 Immigration Law Challenged in Federal Court

A Texas state lawyer admitted in federal court that the state may have gone "too far" with its controversial immigration law, SB4, which makes entering Texas illegally a state crime and allows state judges to order immigrants to be deported. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals is examining the statute, which has been temporarily paused, while the Texas Solicitor General argued that the law was an attempt to enforce federal immigration laws being ignored by the Biden administration. The court is considering whether to uphold the law, with one judge expressing skepticism and the Justice Department urging the court to maintain its previous ruling blocking the law.
