A divided federal appeals court has allowed Texas to enforce a state law that permits the arrest and prosecution of individuals thought to have unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. The law, known as Senate Bill 4, was initially blocked by a 2024 injunction. The court voted 10–7 to undo the injunction, allowing Texas to enforce the law.
