Aliens violating the Act are ordered to return to the nation they reentered from. The Act forbids judges from abating a state prosecution resulting from a pending (or attainable) federal willpower of the alien’s immigration standing. America sought a preliminary injunction in opposition to the enforcement of the Act. The district court1 granted it. Iowa appeals. Having jurisdiction beneath 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), this court docket affirms.”
