SB4 law allowing state authorities to arrest people suspected of entering the US illegally has encountered a new roadblock. Plus: young people becoming less happy

It could also be enforced elsewhere in Texas if someone is arrested on suspicion of another violation and their fingerprints link them to a suspected re-entry violation.Biden and Trump sweep up more delegates in Tuesday’s primary elections
