Yesterday evening, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied Texas’ motion to stay an injunction stopping the state from enforcing an immigration law. A hearing on the matter is set for next month.

By design, SB 4 was crafted to not conflict with federal law. However, the federal government doesn’t exactly see it that way.
