Supreme Court Keeps Hold On Florida Immigration Law Aimed At People In U.S. Illegally

17 hours ago The Supreme Court has refused to allow Florida to enforce an immigration law making it a crime for people who are living in the U.S. illegally to enter the state. The high court’s action Wednesday will keep the law on hold while a legal challenge continues. The court did not explain its decision and no justice noted a dissent. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the legislation into law in February in support of President Donald Trump’s push to crack down on illegal immigration. Immigrants rights groups sued, arguing that immigration is a federal issue beyond the power of the states. The law is similar to a Texas law that also has been blocked by a federal appeals court.
