Supreme Court allows Texas immigration law to take effect, only to see quick reversal

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has BLOCKED a controversial immigration law in Texas until the court can determine how to proceed, despite a ruling just hours earlier from the U.S. Supreme Court permitting the Lone Star State to -- at least temporarily -- enforce the measure.

If it wasn't for this decision in the court below, the Supreme Court's decision temporarily rejecting President Joe Biden's appeal of the law would have been the final say.

However, the Justice Department in D.C. wouldn't accept that and managed to get the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to side with its position.

"Absent this Court's intervention, SB4 will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 10, 2024, profoundly altering the status quo that has existed between the United States and the States in the context of immigration for almost 150 years,” lawyers from the Justice Department wrote.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was likely furious over this temporary block.

Just the week before, upon learning the immigration lawn had been allowed to take effect, Abbott took to social media where he shared it ALL with his followers.

“BREAKING HUGE NEWS. Federal appeals court allows Texas immigration law to take effect. Law enforcement officers in Texas are now authorized to arrest & jail any illegal immigrants crossing the border,” Abbott wrote in the social media post.

Now, the law is up in the air again.

Only time will tell if this law actually ever passes.

Where do you stand on the new Texas immigration measure?
