Supreme Court says Texas can begin enforcing immigration law
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: 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.
