Texas law letting police arrest illegal border crossers blocked by federal judge
A federal judge said Texas may not exercise immigration authority without permission from the federal government
A federal judge has blocked Texas from enforcing a new law that would make illegal immigration a state crime.
Federal judge David Ezra on Thursday granted a preliminary injunction that will block Texas' SB4 from taking effect next week. The law would allow state authorities to arrest and jail illegal immigrants, and would give state judges the power to order deportations.
In his ruling, the judge wrote that states "may not exercise immigration enforcement power except as authorized by the federal government."
