"Supreme Court Extends Pause on Texas Immigration Law Allowing Arrest of Migrants"

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito extended the pause on Texas' SB4 immigration law, which would allow state officials to arrest and jail migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization. The law, one of the toughest state immigration laws in U.S. history, has been contested by the Biden administration, which argues that it interferes with federal immigration policy and conflicts with U.S. asylum law. The pause on enforcing SB4 has been extended through March 18, with the 5th Circuit scheduled to hear arguments on the law's merits on April 3.
