This law is set to take effect on May 15, following a federal appeals court ruling that lifted a previous injunction. The lawsuit, brought by the Texas Civil Rights Project and the ACLU, argues that immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility and that SB 4 violates constitutional principles by creating state-level immigration crimes.
