Florida can't enforce a controversial new law targeting undocumented immigrants entering Florida, the Supreme Court said on July 9.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday left in place a block on a new Florida immigration law that imposes criminal penalties on migrants who are in the U.S. illegally and enter into the state, with the justices declining to pause a lower court decision that stopped it from taking effect while legal proceedings move forward.

The U.S. Supreme Court won’t allow Florida to enforce its undocumented immigrant illegal entry and re-entry law while litigation continues in the case that led to a federal judge finding the state’s top legal officer in contempt of court.
