Appeals Court Once Again Halts Texas Law to Arrest Illegal Immigrants

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals halted the implementation of Texas Senate Bill 4, a law permitting the arrest of suspected illegal immigrants by state law enforcement. Chief Judge Priscilla Richman highlighted federal jurisdiction in immigration matters. Fox News reported that Texas lawmakers and residents support such measures due to concerns about border security. The law mandates immigrants to leave or face prosecution for illegal entry, with potential felony charges upon re-arrest. Texas contends its law aligns with federal immigration enforcement,. The Justice Department opposes, citing federal authority and potential border chaos. We wouldn’t want chaos!

The Hill reported:

Judge Andrew Oldham, the lone dissenter in the overnight ruling, argued Texas is “is supposed to retain at least some of its sovereignty” in the federal system.

“And its people are supposed to be able to use that sovereignty to elect representatives and send them to Austin to debate and enact laws that respond to the exigencies that Texans experience and that Texans want addressed,” Oldham stated in his dissent.
