"Supreme Court Temporarily Halts Texas Immigration Law Criminalizing Illegal Migrant Crossings"

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has allowed Texas to enforce a new law criminalizing illegal immigration, reversing a lower court's decision. The law permits state authorities to arrest and jail illegal immigrants and grants state judges the power to order deportations. The ruling is on hold for seven days to allow the Biden administration to appeal to the Supreme Court. Texas Governor Greg Abbott plans to appeal the decision, citing the state's right to defend itself from the border crisis.
