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.
Appeals court freezes Texas’ new SB4 immigration law: The law would allow police to arrest those suspected of illegally crossing the US-Mexican border.

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.

Quick Glance: Abbott Stands Firm on 'Invasion' Declaration After Supreme Court Setback
- Governor Greg Abbott accuses the federal government of breaking the agreement with the states after the Supreme Court ruled on Monday allowing the Border Patrol to remove razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border.
- The latest escalation in a legal and political standoff between Texas and the federal government, although Abbott has not announced any specific measures.
- Since then, the governor has systematically increased the border enforcement roles of the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard, citing the constitutional authority for a state to defend itself against invasion.
- Although the Supreme Court this week allowed federal officials, namely the Border Patrol, to remove razor wire installed by Texas, that order did not affect other flashpoints in the uneasy relationship between feds and state agents.
