Advocates condemn Texas anti-immigrant law SB4 as legal battles continue

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday, March 19 that Texas law SB4—which would allow law enforcement agents to arrest and jail migrants—could go into effect pending litigation on its constitutionality.

SB4, which closely mirrors Arizona’s discriminatory “show me your papers” law, criminalizes entry and re-entry, and deputizes state police to arrest people they suspect are undocumented.
