A federal appeals court has upheld the suspension of a Texas law allowing the state to detain and deport migrants suspected of entering the U.S. illegally.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling late Tuesday following a recent hearing by a three-judge panel, marking the latest development in a contentious legal battle.
The Justice Department argues that the Texas law violates federal authority and would result in border chaos, while Texas contends that the Biden administration is failing to adequately manage the border, justifying state action.
The law briefly went into effect on March 19 after receiving clearance from the U.S. Supreme Court.
However, the Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of the case and instead returned it to the 5th Circuit, which then suspended enforcement during the appeal process.
The recent ruling maintains the suspension.
Signed by Governor Abbott, the law allows Texas law enforcement officers to arrest individuals suspected of illegal entry.
Arrested migrants can either leave the U.S. per a Texas judge's order or face misdemeanor charges. Failure to leave could result in more severe felony charges.
No arrests were announced during the brief period the law was in effect, and enforcement methods remain unclear. Mexico has stated it will not accept individuals ordered to return by Texas.
Critics argue that the law resembles Arizona's controversial immigration law from over a decade ago, which was partially struck down by the Supreme Court, and could lead to civil rights violations and racial profiling.
Supporters maintain that probable cause is required for arrests, which could include direct observation or video evidence of illegal entry, and expect the law to be primarily applied in border counties.
