Supreme Court extends pause of Texas law allowing arrests of illegal immigrants

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito extended a pause on a Texas law that allows the state’s law enforcement to arrest immigrants entering the United States from Mexico.

Alito, who handles emergency applications stemming from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, temporarily froze the law on March 4 as the Supreme Court considers a petition by the Biden administration to block the law for a longer period of time.
