Justice Samuel Alito has momentarily halted the implementation of a circuit court ruling that would allow a law permitting local enforcement officers in Texas to detain unlawful immigrants. This move comes after the Biden Administration urged the Supreme Court to prevent the immediate enforcement of the law, purporting such a measure would significantly disrupt consistent enforcement of federal immigration laws within the state of Texas.

The Court of Appeals in the Fifth Circuit overturned a previous decision by a lower court to stall the enforcement of the law pending a comprehensive court hearing. This action could have led to the immediate enactment of the law, barring intervention from the Supreme Court. However, Justice Alito authorized a temporary reprieve, effectively pausing the ruling of the Fifth Circuit until early evening on the 13th of March.

On behalf of the current administration, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar articulated to the Supreme Court that the immediate implementation of this law would drastically alter nearly a century and a half of established equilibrium between the federal government and individual states regarding immigration policies.

She contended that the new law, given the label SB4, would allow Texas to expel non-U.S. residents to Mexico without its agreement. This could have considerable short term negative consequences on the diplomatic relationship between the U.S. and Mexico. This relationship is deemed essential for effective regulation of immigration on the southwest border of the United States.
