washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/19/texas-immigration-law-sb4/

Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Texas Immigration Law Intensifies Again

A federal appeals court issued a ruling late on Tuesday that once more halts Texas from apprehending migrants suspected of unlawfully entering the United States, shortly after the Supreme Court implemented the stringent new immigration law.

Earlier in the day, a split decision by the Supreme Court granted Texas permission to enforce a statute granting law enforcement extensive authority to detain migrants believed to have illegally crossed the border while the legal conflict regarding the provision unfolds.

Opponents view the legislation as the most extreme effort by a state to regulate immigration since the passage of an Arizona law over a decade ago, parts of which were invalidated by the Supreme Court.

The dispute over the immigration statute in Texas is among several legal clashes between Texan officials and the Biden administration concerning the extent to which the state can monitor the Texas-Mexico border and deter unauthorized border crossings.

Quick Glance: US Judge Rejects Republican Challenge to Biden Migrant Program

A federal judge in Texas rejected a challenge by Republican-led states to a Biden program allowing migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela emergency entry into the U.S.

Judge Drew Tipton in Victoria, Texas, ruled that the states lacked standing to pursue the lawsuit against the program that permits up to 30,000 monthly entries.

Approximately 234,000 migrants from the specified countries entered the U.S. through the program by November, requiring a U.S. sponsor and air travel.

Tipton noted a significant decrease in illegal entries from the countries since the program's inception, without addressing the lawsuit's core claim of DHS authority.

A federal judge in Texas blocked the state's new law, granting officials broad powers to address individuals illegally crossing the US-Mexico border.

The judge sided with President Joe Biden's administration, stating the law interferes with federal powers under the US Constitution and migrants' ability to seek asylum and humanitarian aid.

The law, set to take effect on March 5, was halted pending the outcome of the Biden administration's legal challenge.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, announced the state's intention to appeal the decision.
