The Supreme Court temporarily halted the implementation of SB4, the Texas law that would allow local law enforcement to arrest and deport migrants who cross illegally into the state.
The decision came shortly after the Justice Department asked the highest court to intervene. Had it not done it, the law would have gone into effect last week, as an appeals court granted a stay on a rejection of the measure by a lower court. The Supreme Court also requested a response by the state.
