The approval comes one day after it was withheld indefinitely by a judge of the highest US judiciary
Supreme Court in we A strict law was allowed to take effect on Tuesday the 19th Texas Which allows immigrants who entered the United States illegally to be detained on its territory. This approval comes one day after it was frozen indefinitely by a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, as this decision was deemed null and void by the majority. The Supreme Court indicated in its decision that the issue is still being discussed in lower courts. The law, one of the strongest anti-illegal immigration measures in US history, was initially scheduled to take effect on March 5, but a federal judge sided with the plaintiffs and blocked it.

The rule allows Texas police and law enforcement to arrest people who cannot prove they crossed the border legally. They can be taken to state court, where they could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison or deported to Mexico, without considering whether that country can accept them. President Joe Biden opposed the law, arguing that the federal government has authority over immigration matters, not individual states.
Passed by the Texas Senate and signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, the law was supposed to take effect at the beginning of the month, but was initially blocked by a federal district judge. The appeals court then ruled that SB4 could take effect unless the Supreme Court ruled otherwise. That's when Justice Samuel Alito blocked it. But the court, with a conservative majority, lifted that order today, while new arguments are heard in the Court of Appeal.
