On Wednesday, the Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the emergency submission of Florida on Wednesday to apply a controversial immigration law that would prohibit illegal immigrants from entering the state – leaving a break from a lower court on the immediate application of the measure.

The Florida 4C Senate bill, which would make it a crime for undocumented migrants to enter the state if they had already been expelled or previously denied having entered the United States, whatever their history, and even if they had since acquired legal status in the country.

The reintegration of the state after having been expelled would be considered a crime under SB 4C, and the individuals suspected of having violated the law would be imprisoned, without surety, until their affairs could be heard in court.

The Florida Attorney General, James Uthmeier, asked the Supreme Court at the end of last month to intervene and block a preliminary injunction transmitted in April by American district judge Kathleen Williams.

Uthmeier has argued that, less intervention by the Supreme Court, Florida and its citizens, “will remain disabled to combat the seriously prejudices of illegal immigration for years while this dispute goes through the lower courts”.

His position was supported by 18 states, which submitted a memory of AMICUS to the High Court supporting the law in question. ACLU, which has filed a motion opposing the law, argued in a motion that these laws risk undermining the federal immigration application and stressing that a suspension of Florida law “would lead to an unmanageable patchwork of variable state criminal regulations.”

The Ministry of Justice told the federal judge that he could invoke the law on state secrets on the large -scale expulsion case

The Ministry of Justice, for its part, has also weighed, depositing a 33 -page friendship in the name of Florida to the American Court of Appeal for the 11th circuit.

Trump administration officials told the Court of Appeal that the law in question “pre -empties” only “federal supremacy concerning the existing immigration law, arguing that Florida’s SB 4C” is in harmony, not in conflict, with federal law “.

The American Court of Appeal for the 11th circuit finally refused to suspend the injunction of the lower court, paving the way for the case to be invoked before the Supreme Court.
