"Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Texas Immigration Law Allowing Police Arrest of Illegal Border Crossers"

A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction to temporarily halt the implementation of Texas' SB 4 immigration law, which would allow local and state law enforcement to arrest migrants suspected of entering the state illegally. Texas Governor Greg Abbott plans to appeal the decision, citing the need to protect the state from the border crisis. The judge's ruling questions the law's constitutionality and its potential impact on federal immigration regulation, while advocacy groups celebrate the temporary victory and prepare for continued legal battles.

Federal Judge Halts Removal of Razor Wire Along Rio Grande

A federal judge has ordered US border authorities to cease cutting through the razor wire installed by the state of Texas to discourage unlawful immigration. The order will remain in effect pending the outcome of a hearing next week. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had filed a lawsuit seeking to prohibit the practice altogether. The judge found that Texas had met the required four-part test for a temporary halt to the federal government's action. The Department of Homeland Security, named as the defendant in the lawsuit, has not responded. The order allows for the wire to be severed and removed in case of a medical emergency.

Mexican Freight Trains Halted Amid Surge of Migrants Hitching Rides to U.S. Border

Mexican transport firm Ferromex, the largest freight train company in Mexico, has temporarily halted service on 60 different trains that travel toward the U.S. border due to an "unprecedented" number of migrants hitching rides on northbound trains. The closure of routes aims to prevent accidents or loss of life after recent incidents. As many as 1,500 migrants have been attempting to hitch rides on trains in Mexican cities, with a single train potentially carrying 1,000 hitchhikers. This comes as the number of migrant apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border continues to rise.
