    AUSTIN, TEXAS
    Texas for now can require law enforcement to honor federal immigration requests to detain people in local jails for possible deportation under a new "sanctuary cities" law supported by the Trump administration, a federal appeals court ruled on Monday.


    The decision prompted one notable critic of the immigration crackdown, Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez, to announce that her Austin jails would now honor all detainers from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The elected Democrat had become a polarizing figure after announcing on the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration that the county's jails would no longer comply with all such requests.


    But the unanimous ruling of a three-judge panel in New Orleans wasn't seen as so clear-cut by others. Some lawyers said they believed the decision did not demand total compliance with federal agents, while other local officials struggled to interpret the ramifications.


    Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton hailed it as a clear victory allowing the state to "enforce the core" of the law known at Senate Bill 4.
