Appeals court reverses ban on Texas border law

Appeals court reverses block on SB4, law to take effect unless Supreme Court intervenes

 

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court's ruling that halted SB4, a new Texas law that gives police broad powers to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the U.S., on Saturday evening.

The appeals court granted a temporary administrative stay for seven days to allow the federal government time to appeal the Supreme Court.

This would allow the law to go into effect on March 9 unless the Supreme Court intervenes.

Last week U.S. District Judge David Ezra blocked the Texas law that was supposed to take effect March 5, dealing a victory to the Biden administration in its feud with Republican Gov. Greg Abbott over immigration enforcement.
