In a troubling blow to state sovereignty and the rule of law, the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to reinstate Florida’s immigration enforcement law, effectively shielding illegal migrants from prosecution in the state.

The law, known as SB 4-C, was designed to allow Florida officials to prosecute individuals who illegally entered the United States and then traveled into Florida, bypassing federal immigration controls. The Supreme Court did not provide any explanation for its ruling and, notably, there were no dissenting opinions, according to The New York Times.

The Court’s refusal came in response to an emergency application filed by the state after U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee, issued an indefinite injunction blocking the law—arguing it was “likely preempted” by federal immigration statutes.

The Biden-appointed judge’s ruling effectively ties the hands of state officials trying to secure their communities from the consequences of open-border policies. Yet last year, the Supreme Court allowed a similar Texas law to move forward, making Wednesday’s decision all the more puzzling.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier strongly defended the law in his appeal, stating that SB 4-C mirrors and complements federal immigration law rather than conflicts with it.

“Florida carefully crafted both provisions to precisely track, mimic, and depend upon federal immigration law,” Uthmeier wrote. “A contrary view strikes at the heart of states’ ability to protect their citizens from the devastating effects of illegal immigration.”

This judicial inconsistency sends a dangerous message: Democrat-led resistance to immigration enforcement gets a pass, while Republican states attempting to uphold law and order are stonewalled.

Meanwhile, Democrat officials like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass are now under fire for allegedly obstructing federal immigration operations. Bass reportedly attempted to interfere with active ICE raids in Los Angeles this week, according to Homeland Security officials.

On Fox News’ Hannity, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told guest host Charlie Hurt that arresting Bass was on the table.

“We are keeping everything on the table,” McLaughlin said. “I want to ask Karen Bass, who is she protecting? Is it the gang members we are going after, or the child, or the drug traffickers?”

McLaughlin continued, highlighting the staggering number of criminals apprehended under President Trump’s leadership:

“In the past 150 days under President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem, we’ve arrested almost 600 known or suspected terrorists and 2,700 members of Tren de Aragua—a vicious, highly sophisticated gang who kills, rapes, and maims Americans for sport.”

“They enrich themselves by sex trafficking young women. They have walked with impunity on America’s streets for four years, and under President Trump, no more.”

As border agents face growing violence fueled by anti-enforcement rhetoric from the left, the Trump administration is drawing a hard line. Following the shooting of a local officer outside an ICE facility in Texas, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blance reaffirmed the administration’s zero-tolerance stance.

“The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible,” he posted to X.

With the Biden administration enabling lawlessness and Democratic politicians obstructing enforcement efforts, President Trump and his administration are once again stepping up to defend the safety and sovereignty of the American people.
