re: Texas can’t deport illegals

Yesterday was pretty much all procedural with very little merits consideration. This is all happening at the level below SCOTUS for the time being. The District Court stopped the law, and the 5th Circuit stayed that order (thus allowing the law). But the stay was an administrative stay and not a more merits-focused stay, and SCOTUS ruling yesterday was narrow. Arguments are happening this AM at the 5th Circuit, so there is a good chance there will be several more ups and downs on this roller coaster and this matter could get back before SCOTUS a couple of times in various stages.
