(CNN) A federal judge in Texas blocked guidance that limits who Immigration and Customs Enforcement should arrest or deport from the United States, marking a setback for the Biden administration, which had put those rules in place in January. It's the latest legal blow for the Biden administration's immigration policies, which have faced a series of lawsuits brought by Texas. Tipton, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, has previously ruled against the Biden administration. Specifically, the January 20 interim ICE guidance curtailed enforcement measures, focusing more narrowly on immigrants who pose a national security, border security or public safety risk. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has previously said that he's working with ICE on new enforcement guidelines, though they've not been released yet.
