A temporary hold on the law was set to expire Wednesday, but the high court extended the pause until the following Monday.

Migrants in Eagle Pass walk near concertina wire erected by state officers participating in Operation Lone Star.

Senate Bill 4 passed late last year by the Texas Legislature and was initially scheduled to go into effect March 5. It wason Feb. 29 by U.S. District Judge David Ezra, who ruled the law is likely unconstitutional because the federal government has jurisdiction over immigration matters. The ACLU of Texas added in a separate filing that allowing SB4 to take effect would negatively impact El Paso County’s ability to prioritize its resources to keep residents safe.

“Under federal law, States enjoy wide latitude to regulate alien misconduct and prosecute crimes involving illegal entry and removal. Indeed, the federal immigration code is replete with state-federal cooperation,” state attorneys claim in the response. They reiterated that Texas is being “invaded” despite Ezra’s earlier claim that the label doesn’t apply to the current situation.
