Supreme Court lifts pause on Texas law allowing migrant arrests: A federal appeals court has issued an order that again prevents Texas from arresting migrants ...

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: Judge Blocks Texas Law Allowing Arrest of Migrants

A federal judge blocked a new Texas law granting police broad powers to arrest migrants entering the U.S. illegally.

The injunction came as Biden and likely challenger Trump visited Texas to discuss immigration.

The judge cited the Constitution's supremacy clause and Supreme Court decisions in his ruling.

The law in Texas was deemed to conflict with federal immigration law and the nation's foreign relations.

Quick Glance: South Dakota Tribe Bans Kristi Noem from Reservation

The Sioux tribe has banned Governor Kristi Noem from the Pine Ridge Reservation after she discussed sending razor wire and security personnel to Texas to deter immigration and claimed that cartels are infiltrating the state's reservations.

Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out accused Noem of using the border issue to help get former President Donald Trump re-elected and improve her chances of becoming his running mate.

Many arriving at the US-Mexico border are Indigenous people from countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico, seeking jobs and a better life, according to the tribal leader.

Star Comes Out also addressed Noem's remarks about the Ghost Dancers gang murdering people on the Pine Ridge Reservation and its affiliation with border-crossing cartels using South Dakota reservations to spread drugs in the Midwest.

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.

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.

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.

Quick Glance: NYC Sues Bus Companies Over Texas Busing Program

The city is seeking $708 million for migrant costs incurred over the last two years.

The lawsuit is based on a New York state social services law that states persons bringing needy individuals from out of state into the state are obligated to support them at their own expense.

Texas has covered bus fares for migrants bound for New York City since April 2022.

Adams issued an order restricting when and where buses carrying migrants into the city can drop them off and requiring 32 hours of advance notice.
