A federal appeals court appeared ready Wednesday to keep on hold a Texas law that would allow state officials to effectively deport immigrants, the day after a Supreme Court order allowed the law to briefly go into effect.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, in a 2-1 order issued late Tuesday, once again prevented Texas from enforcing the law.
And the panel set oral arguments for Wednesday morning on whether to keep the immigrant removal law, S.B. 4, on hold as the Biden administration and civil rights groups challenged it in court.
