Quick Glance: Court Blocks Migrant Arrests in Texas Once Again
  • Following the enforcement of the strict new immigration law, a federal appeals court issued an order late Tuesday preventing Texas from arresting migrants suspected of illegal entry into the USA.

  • The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made the decision after weeks to allow Texas to enforce the law by pausing a lower judge's ruling.

  • Earlier on Tuesday, a divided Supreme Court granted permission for Texas to implement a law granting police extensive powers to arrest migrants suspected of illegally crossing the border as litigation on the matter unfolded.

  • The federal government and Mexico have raised concerns about the contentious law and announced measures to impede its enforcement.
