“The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to revive an aggressive Florida immigration law that had been blocked by lower courts. The law would let state officials prosecute unauthorized migrants who enter the state,” the New York Times reports.
“The court’s one-sentence order gave no reasons, which is typical when the justices act on emergency applications. There were no noted dissents.”
Washington Post: “At least seven states, including Texas, Oklahoma and Iowa, have passed similar laws in recent years in response to concerns about illegal border crossings and drug and human trafficking. Four of those laws — including Florida’s — have been blocked by lower courts for interfering with the power of federal officials to enforce U.S. immigration law. Others have yet to take effect.”
