The U.S. Department of Justice says it is voluntarily dropping its legal challenge to the Texas immigration law.

The law allows local police to arrest people they suspect crossed the Texas - Mexico border illegally.

Immigration advocacy groups say the law encroaches on the federal government’s sole authority over immigration.
