 US court keeps Texas border security law on hold in win for Biden
==========

A U.S. appeals court has kept on hold a Republican-backed Texas law that would let state authorities arrest and prosecute people suspected of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The law, formally called S.B. 4, has become a flashpoint in a broader battle between Texas and the Biden administration over border security and immigration. The 5th Circuit panel's action was the latest of three rapid-fire rulings on the status of the law. The Biden administration's lawsuit argued that the measure violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law by interfering with the U.S. government's power to regulate immigration. The 5th Circuit panel is scheduled to hear arguments on the merits of the state's appeal on April 3.
