Summary: A federal appeals court has put a hold on Texas' new immigration law, preventing arrests of migrants entering the U.S. illegally. The law allows Texas officers to arrest and prosecute migrants. The court cited federal authority over immigration. The Supreme Court allowed the law briefly before the appeals court intervened. The law remains blocked pending further legal proceedings. Critics fear civil rights violations and racial profiling.
