The Fifth Circuit court called the last-minute hearing after the Supreme Court let SB4 briefly take effect.
WASHINGTON — The chief judge on an appeals panel weighing whether to block a Texas’ new migrant deportation law appeared skeptical that it does not run afoul of longstanding precedent leaving immigration enforcement solely to the federal government. Questioning the state’s solicitor general, Priscilla Richman, the chief judge on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, read from a landmark Supreme Court decision from 2012 that held only the federal government has the power to enforce immigration laws.
Appeals court blocks Texas migrant law hours after Supreme Court lets it take effect The law, originally set to take effect on March 5, makes it a crime to enter the state from Mexico illegally and allows any law enforcement officer in Texas to arrest migrants they suspect of violating the law. It empowers judges to order the removal of anyone convicted under the law. The Supreme Court said it could not take further action until after the 5th Circuit made the first move.
