"US Appeals Court Upholds Hold on Texas Border Security Law"

A U.S. appeals court has upheld a ruling blocking a Texas law that would allow state authorities to arrest and prosecute individuals suspected of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a statute that the Biden administration argues interferes with federal authority over immigration. The law, known as S.B. 4, has become a focal point in the clash between Texas and the Biden administration over border security and immigration. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Texas's request to let the law take effect while the state's appeal is ongoing, with arguments scheduled for April 3. The law's opponents argue that it violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law by encroaching on the federal government's power to regulate immigration.
