Texas immigration law blocked again, just
hours after Supreme Court allowed state
to arrest migrants

Original Article

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 late Tuesday blocked the state from enforcing its controversial immigration law known as SB4. In a late-night order, a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel dissolved a pause that it issued in early March to suspend a lower court ruling that found SB4 to be unconstitutional. The order reinstated a ruling from U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra, who concluded in late February that SB4 conflicted with federal immigration laws and the Constitution.

How can a state appeals court overturn a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court? Do Texas officials have to abide by the appeals court?

Agree with #3. After reading the article, I'm even more confused and don't know what happened. Knowing the media, the confusion is probably intentional.

The left can get a stay anytime for anything---but Trump can never be allowed his constitutional rights to a stay on appeal.

I didn't think the Supreme Court ruling meant much. This is all happening at the Federal Court level, not State Court. Here's the process in a nutshell: Texas passed a law that would allow them to arrest and deport illegal immigrants. A Federal judge ruled that the Texas law was not valid as it usurped the authority of the federal government regarding immigration. A Fifth Circuit (federal) Court of Appeals three judge panel overturned the Federal judge's ruling. The Biden justice department made an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Fifth Circuits ruling and the Supreme Court denied the emergency appeal. A different Fifth Circuit three judge panel reversed the prior Fifth Circuit ruling and is allowing the Federal judge's initial ruling to now stand. More appeals to come. But this is why I warned yesterday not to get to excited regarding the Supreme Court's ruling on the emergency appeal. Elections have consequences. We need a president who will enforce the current laws on the books. Biden is not that president.

The media and this article are a joke. They basically are saying the 5th circuit overruled the US Supreme Court with no explanation of how this could be done. Pure propaganda from the media. They state things as fact with no analysis or explanation when it's basically something we've never seen in our lifetime.

You have to wonder how a Federal Appeals Court can effectively reverse a decision of the US Supreme Court? Probably what will happen is the Appeals Court will quickly hold a hearing on the case and make a final decision, knowing that depending on what they decide that the case will end up back before the Supreme Court. The problem with all that is if the case effectively comes out giving a thumbs up to Biden and his crew continuing to ignore the US Immigration laws and flood the USA with Third World illegal aliens ( being called migrants and newcomers by the leftist Democrats), who Biden and the leftist Democrats believe they will be able, by way of massive future amnesties to transition as many of those illegal aliens as possible into becoming future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions, in that the word will immediately be spread across the Third World by the international media telling prospective illegal aliens to “surge” (Biden’s word) to the US Borders, so that Biden and his leftist crew can allow them to gain unlawful entry to the USA, by claiming that they are “asylum seekers”, a bogus reason to allow unlimited numbers of illegal aliens to gain unlawful entry into the USA. As in the past, history has shown that about 90% of such borderline generated asylum cases filed by illegal aliens in the immigration courts have been denied by immigration judges as being completely fraudulent or not meeting the proof necessary to justify a grant of asylum in the USA in accordance with the asylum laws. Mostly because the respondents were economic migrants (illegal aliens) who entered the USA to get hired to a US job that is not a reason to grant an illegal alien asylum in the USA, as if it were billions of poor and uneducated Third World origin illegal aliens would be eligible for asylum in the USA, creating a situation where native born US citizens would become a minority population in the USA, obviously knowing that, it is clear that Biden and his leftist crew have been misusing the asylum laws as a guise to allow unlimited millions of inadmissible Third World origin illegal aliens to flood into the USA with no end in sight. This is clearly all political, and you should be able to see where these unlawful Biden and his leftist crew policies are headed if Biden wins reelection in the upcoming November election, in their quest to permanently change the population demographics of the USA, ethnically, politically, and racially, to what Biden and and the leftist Democrats will be to their great future political favor, keeping them in power permanently, able to permanently control the Congress and the Presidency.

Explanation is simple: https://www.breitbart.com/border/2024/03/20/texas-immigration-law-on-hold-again-after-late-night-appeal/ Tuesday’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court moved the matter back to the lower appeals court, where the latest ruling once again puts enforcement of the controversial law on hold.

Jesus was asked about what would be the sign of the Last Days and His Coming. And He said: Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. Matthew 24;12,13 Never before in my lifetime have I've seen such lawlessness in our courts, our government, our society. Joe Biden, Obama's judges, Leftist Judges, all of these are a sign of what the Lord was talking about: lawlessness. It is here. And it has increased. And how!

Shocker: Poll Shows Most Americans See

These days, finding a poll with good news for President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats is harder than finding a politician in D.C. without their hands in your pockets. A recent survey found that most Americans can clearly see what the slew of indictments against former President Donald Trump is about, an issue that could spell trouble for Biden’s chances of winning reelection. The survey, conducted by McLaughlin and Associates, revealed that most respondents believe Biden is using the government against Trump through the justice system to skew the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. Interestingly enough, it is not only Republicans

HOUSTON — President Joe Biden made a stop in Houston on Thursday. The president arrived just after 11:50 a.m. at Ellington Field and was greeted by Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo before heading to River Oaks for a private fundraiser. Before his stop in Houston, Biden went to two fundraisers in Dallas. “There’s the old saying, ‘Why rob the banks? That’s where the money is,'" said Rice University Political Science professor Mark Jones. "In Texas, the money is in Dallas and in Houston.” However, Jones believes the money will be spent almost entirely outside Texas. “This is not about trying to flip Texas," he said.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says he plans to invite Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress. What better way for Netanyahu to counter Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's completely inappropriate and disgraceful speech he delivered that encouraged Israel to hold an election while Israel is at war? Schumer most likely delivered that speech at President Biden's request. Biden doesn't have the nerve to be honest about his feelings about Netanyahu. He likes to point to several decades of friendship but privately he is stabbing Netanyahu and Israel in the back.

Good news if true, even it appears to be offered as an alternative to killing the last four Hamas brigades in Gaza. That certainly beats the ludicrous suggestion earlier this week from Joe Biden and his administration that the IDF could secure the Egypt-Gaza border to starve Hamas out of Rafah ... while the US airdrops food and medicine into the city. But is this on the level? The Jerusalem Post reported it this afternoon, based on an earlier NBC News story: American officials have seemingly greenlighted and supported the Israeli assassination campaign in Gaza and abroad, according to a report on NBC on Thursday, citing unnamed American and Israeli officials.

A federal judge ordered the FBI to release the writings of the transgender woman who shot and killed six people at a Christian school in Nashville on March 27, 2023. In the hours after the shooting, Breitbart News noted that police indicated Audrey Hale identified as transgender. Less than a month after the shooting, Breitbart News pointed out that Hale left behind a suicide note, 19 journals, and other items, and all of them have been kept from the public since the attack occurred. (The exception was a November 2023 leak of three pages, purportedly from the shooter’s writings. Seven Nashville police officers were put on “administrative leave” over the leak.)

If polling among Independent voters is any indication, Team Biden had better be very afraid. President Joe Biden, while riding in a statistical dead heat with former President Donald Trump, is not performing very well among Independents, a key voting bloc. Despite the full-on media propaganda campaign against the former president and the list of politically motivated indictments against him, Trump has managed to present a formidable challenge to the incumbent – even among voters who are not firmly in the MAGA camp. New polls reveal that Biden’s failure to win over independents might be one of the reasons why he can’t pull ahead of the Republican contender.

NEW YORK — NEW YORK — The Wall Street debut of Donald Trump’s Truth Social network could give him stock worth billions of dollars on paper. But the former president probably will not be able to cash it out right away, unless some things change. The longer-term outlook for the business is highly questionable. Trump's company has said it expects to continue losing money for a while, and at least one expert says it's likely worth far less than the stock market suggests. Trump's pending return to Wall Street comes down to a vote scheduled for Friday by shareholders of a company named Digital World Acquisition Corp., which at the moment

Seventy-one percent of Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank believe Hamas made the right decision in attacking Israel on October 7, according to a new poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. The percentage of West Bank residents who support the Hamas attack has decreased slightly since December, when 82 percent of West Bank respondents said they agreed with the decision, though support for the terror attack has increased in Gaza, rising from 57 percent in December to 71 percent in March.

The Blanco County Sheriff's Office ruled Chao's death an "unfortunate accident," according to a report on the investigation released Wednesday. An autopsy was not performed on Chao, but a toxicology test revealed her blood alcohol concentration level was nearly three times the legal limit in Texas, the report said. "The toxicology results indicated Chao had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.233 g/100 mL," investigator Adam Acosta wrote. The state's legal BAC limit is 0.08.

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign expanded its fundraising advantage in February, with plans to unload a barrage of ads against former President Donald Trump. The Democratic president’s campaign account officially reported taking in $21 million in February, according to its report filed with the Federal Election Commission late Wednesday, ending the month with $71 million cash on hand. That left the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee with a combined $97.5 million cash on hand as of the end of February, more than double the $44.8 million in the bank between Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee. Those totals don’t include either side’s joint fundraising committees.

Two squatters are being sought over the gruesome murder of a 52-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed in a duffel bag inside her late mother’s upscale Manhattan apartment last week, police said Thursday. The victim, Nadia Vitel, was savagely beaten by the two perps when she discovered them holed up inside the 19th-floor apartment on East 31st Street last week, according to cops. Having just flown in from Spain, Vitel had gone to her late mom’s apartment — which had been vacant for roughly three to four months — to start prepping it so a family friend could move in.
