ACLU Issues Travel Alert About Texas After Gov. Signed Anti-Immigrant Law SB 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The American Civil Liberties Union has issued a "travel alert" warning
potential travelers to Texas they might be illegally stopped by police
and asked about their immigration status, now that Texas Governor Greg
Abbott has signed into law SB 4, one of the harshest anti-immigrant laws
in the country. The law bans sanctuary cities and allows police officers
to check the immigration status of anyone they detain. Click here to see
our full interview about SB 4 with Austin City Councilmember Gregorio
Casar, who was recently arrested at a sit-in at Abbott's office
protesting SB 4.
