Supreme Court Upholds Block on Controversial Florida Immigration Law

FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The Supreme Court's refusal maintains a lower court's block on Florida's law criminalizing undocumented immigrant entry, amid support from 17 states and the Trump administration.

  • The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court's injunction blocking Florida from enforcing a law that criminalizes undocumented immigrants, agreeing it likely conflicts with federal authority over immigration policy.
  • Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier had requested the Supreme Court to lift the injunction, but the court's decision preserved the federal court ruling.
  • The law, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, made unauthorized entry into Florida a criminal offense, leading to some arrests, including that of a U.S. citizen.
  • Legal experts supported the Supreme Court’s decision, emphasizing that immigration enforcement is a federal matter, as stated by Bacardi Jackson, executive director of the ACLU of Florida.
