A U.S. district judge has temporarily blocked Florida's new immigration law, Senate Bill 4C, which aimed to criminalize the act of entering the state illegally.
The ruling comes after the ACLU and other immigrant advocacy groups filed a federal lawsuit, arguing that the law oversteps state authority and infringes on the federal government's exclusive power to regulate immigration. The judge agreed that the law likely conflicts with federal immigration policy. The temporary injunction prevents the law from being enforced while the legal challenge proceeds.
This decision marks a significant setback for Florida's efforts to impose stricter immigration controls at the state level.
