Washington Post - Texas was blocked from arresting and deporting migrants yesterday. A law that makes it a state crime for migrants to illegally cross the border was put on hold by an appeals court, hours after the Supreme Court said it could take effect. The law — a key part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s push to expand the state’s role in border security — can’t be enforced as legal challenges continue.
NPR - A whirlwind of court orders has left a controversial Texas immigration law on hold once again as many immigrants in the state wake up to a new day of anxiety. The law, known as S.P. 4, would give local and state authorities in Texas the power to arrest migrants they suspect to have crossed the border into the U.S. illegally and deport them to Mexico. A federal appeals court blocked the law just hours after the Supreme Court allowed it to take effect. They scheduled arguments for today to decide whether it should be kept on hold.
