March 27 (UPI) -- A federal appeals court panel voted 2-1 on Wednesday to keep a hold in place blocking a Texas immigration law from going into effect as it continues to be litigated.
The three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans issued the decision overnight on Senate Bill 4, which would allow Texas state and local law authorities to arrest, detain and deport alleged undocumented people in the state.
