Even though it was passed into law last year, SB4 remains on hold after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito today extended the order to block Texas law enforcement from arresting and jailing immigrants suspected of crossing into the U.S. illegally.
The pause was supposed to end tomorrow night, but has now been extended until March 18.
Texas has argued that the new law will help stop illegal border crossings, however the Biden administration wants to keep the border open, and says the law is against federal law and the U.S. Constitution.
