The law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis makes it a state crime to enter Florida after coming into the United States illegally and to re-enter the state following deportation.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a lower court's injunction preventing Florida from enforcing a law that criminalizes undocumented immigrants for entering the state. The decision preserves a ruling issued by U.

Immigrant rights organizations sued the state arguing that its new law conflicts with federal immigration law, and under longstanding Supreme Court precedent, states must bow to federal law in the event of such conflicts.
