Decision will likely move on to the Supreme Court
A federal appeals court ruled in favor of Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott on Monday after a lower federal court previously blocked the state from arresting illegal aliens under Senate Bill 4.
“BREAKING HUGE NEWS Federal appeals court allows Texas immigration law to take effect. Law enforcement officers in Texas are now authorized to arrest & jail any illegal immigrants crossing the border,” Abbott wrote on X.

The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay of the previous judgment for seven days, allowing the Biden administration to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court if desired.
Perhaps the Supreme Court will rule in favor of Texas aspiring to secure its border, delivering yet another blow to Democrats following Monday’s SCOTUS ruling allowing Donald Trump to remain on all 2024 Primary ballots.
The decision was widely celebrated by Americans fed up with Biden’s open borders:
