Top US court pauses controversial Texas border law

The Supreme Court of the United States has decided to temporarily halt the implementation of a controversial Texas border law that would have allowed state authorities to stop and search vehicles suspected of transporting undocumented immigrants.

The law, known as SB8, has faced widespread criticism from civil rights groups and the Biden administration, who argue that it would lead to racial profiling and violate the constitutional rights of individuals.

The Supreme Court’s decision to pause the law comes after a lower court ruled that it was likely unconstitutional. The case is expected to be heard by the high court in the coming months.

Opponents of SB8 have hailed the decision as a victory for immigrant rights and civil liberties, while supporters argue that the law is necessary to combat illegal immigration and protect national security.
