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.
