Update on Texas's SB4 (the immigration law):

Blocked again, but get ready for some silliness.

Following SCOTUS's ruling that put SB4 into effect, the Fifth Circuit scrambled and dissolved their administrative stay -- once more blocking the law when the 3 judge panel ruled 2-1 to do so and set oral arguments up for earlier today to determine whether or not to allow it to continue through the normal process. Sound confusing? Probably! Here's the timeline!

The Fifth Circuit panel can rule at any time and no matter how they decide it's sure to end up appealed again. Per news orgs like the NYT they appeared split on the issue, which I suppose makes sense give the 2-1 order to block it again. The one positive sign is that that split seems to have been between two of the judges and the one who was quiet was a Biden appointee.
