"Texas Immigration Law Battle: Appeals Court Blocks Border Arrests"

A federal appeals court has blocked Texas from arresting migrants suspected of entering the country illegally, hours after the Supreme Court allowed the state to enforce its controversial new immigration law. The SB4 law makes illegal border crossings a crime and gives law enforcement the authority to charge offenders. The decision to block the law comes after the Supreme Court's green light and is a blow for Texas governor Greg Abbott, who championed the need for aggressive legislation to deter migrants. The temporary order prevents the law from being enforced until further arguments are made before the court, and the issue remains contentious between state and federal authorities.
