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.

The ruling comes in the midst of a national dispute over the extent to which states may be involved in the application of immigration regulations, a power that historically fell into the hands of the federal government.
