Before being blocked by a district court, Texas' Senate Bill 4 targeting immigration was approved last year by a special state legislative session.
Roughly five minutes after Texas' controversial Senate Bill 4 took effect, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito extended his administrative stays of the new immigration legislation indefinitely.Backed by Governor Greg Abbott, S.B. 4 was approved by a special Texas legislative session in November, providing a green light for local and state law enforcement to arrest, detain and remove individuals suspected of entering the state illegally from other countries.
Abbott immediately vowed to appeal the decision, saying he 'will not back down in our fight to protect our state—and our nation—from President Biden's border crisis.'Judge David Ezra previously blocked S.B. 4 from advancing into law, following criticism from many civil rights groups.'Surges in immigration do not constitute an 'invasion' within the meaning of the Constitution, nor is Texas engaging in war by enforcing S.B. 4,' Ezra wrote in his 114-page ruling.
