Procedural Trick by Federal Appeals Court BLOCKS Texas From Arresting Illegal Invaders

The SCOTUS recently lifted the stay against a Texas law allowing local law enforcement to arrest people who have entered the country illegally.

But liberal judges couldn’t let that stand.

Only hours after the decision by the Supreme Court, a federal appeals court majority voted to impose the injunction against the Texas law once again.

Hours after the Supreme Court gave Texas officials permission to jail and prosecute migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization, an appeals court blocked the state from enforcing the controversial law, known as SB4. https://t.co/ojJ4e1NBYs

The Biden administration desperately wants this border crisis to continue.

Any collateral damage from that be damned.

🚨#BREAKING: The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has put the stay on the Texas SB4 law.

Texas SB4 law would authorize local and state law enforcement to arrest and deport people suspected of being in the United States without legal authorization.

The real message this is sending is that no state has the right to protect itself without permission from the federal government.

Does the federal government really care about the average American?

Officials at the highest levels in our govt, want to allow illegal aliens come into our country – they use our money to feed, house, clothe, care for and give them actual money.

Think about that for a minute….is this a government that has our best interest at heart? 🤔

Supporters of the bill and Texas autonomy are rooting for Texas to stand their ground.

The Politics Brief reported more on this last-minute decision by the 5th Circuit:

The Supreme Court had finally granted its approval that a Texas law directing police officers to arrest illegal aliens was constitutionally compliant.

But in an 11th hour gambit, a federal appeals court contrived a way to once more block the Texas law into going into effect, mere hours after the Supreme Court had authorized the measure to be implemented.

The federal appeals court contrived a procedural trick to undermine the Supreme Court’s judgment prolonging Biden’s unimpeded border invasion in the Lone Star state.

On late Tuesday night, hours after the Supreme Court vacated a lower court stay against Texas Senate Bill 4 by a vote of 6-3, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit announced that it would evaluate the Biden administration’s lawsuit against the law on Wednesday morning. A majority on that panel voted in advance of oral arguments to once more halt the implementation of the law while the legal process unfolds.

The order of the majority dissolves a “administrative stay” imposed by a distinct panel on March 2, thereby reinstating the injunction against SB 4 without delay.
