"Texas Immigration Law Faces Continued Legal Challenges Despite Supreme Court Action"

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked Texas from enforcing its controversial immigration law, SB4, just hours after the Supreme Court allowed the state to arrest migrants. SB4 criminalizes unauthorized migration at the state level and grants law enforcement officials the power to detain and prosecute migrants on new criminal charges. The Justice Department has argued that SB4 conflicts with federal law and the Constitution, while Texas Governor Greg Abbott has positioned it as a necessary measure to discourage illegal immigration.
