Summary: A federal appeals court in Texas has blocked the enforcement of the controversial SB 4 law, which allows state officials to arrest suspected illegal immigrants. The court's 2-1 decision cited concerns about the law's constitutionality and the federal government's jurisdiction over immigration. The law, signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, faces further legal challenges. The court will hear arguments on April 3. Biden administration and immigrant advocacy groups oppose the law.
