Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has extended a pause on a stringent Texas’ immigration law at the request of the Biden administration.

The decision was released by the Supreme Court on Tuesday. It delays the implementation and enforcement of Senate Bill 4 until at least March 18th.

The Biden White House requested that the law be delayed, arguing that Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R-Texas) is interfering with long-standing federal jurisdiction of immigration enforcement.

Abbott has insisted that he’s doing the federal government’s job, since they refuse to take action, rather than being in their way.

The legislation has been referred to as some of the “most stringent immigration enforcement measures ever” in response to the historic crisis at the Southern border.

A U.S. Fifth Circuit court is scheduled to review SB 4 in early April.
