"Federal Judge Halts Texas Law Allowing Police to Arrest Migrants"

A federal judge in Texas has blocked the implementation of the state's SB4 immigration law, which aimed to criminalize migrant crossings. The judge's ruling prevents Texas officials from enforcing the law, citing conflicts with federal law and the Constitution. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to appeal the decision, stating that the case may ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The law, signed by Abbott, would have allowed state officials to arrest and prosecute migrants crossing into the U.S. illegally, but critics argue it interferes with federal immigration enforcement and could lead to racial profiling.
