@TXCivilRights Done! TX seemed to struggle to explain how we’re in an invasion, how the bill would not conflict with federal law. Judge indicated he’d issue an order with enough time for either side to appeal, so at least a few days before March 5. #border #SB4
LIVE from the TX Capitol this AM — partners + allies gather around ILRC Policy Strategist + Atty Jennefer Canales-Peláez discussing harms of #SB4 “When state officials pursuing personal platforms of hate continue to fight against the interests of Texans, WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN!”
Good morning from the federal courthouse in Austin, where a coalition of immigrant-rights groups will try to convince a federal judge that a Texas law authorizing a judge or magistrate to order a migrant to return to Mexico, regardless of their nationality, is unconstitutional.
Really needed to see this image today. It's been many dark days with large shadows enveloping us. These people and so many others are the light cutting through. Grateful to the statewide and local multi-pronged response against the SB4s. Grateful to everyone fighting. Thank you.
Happening Now! @TXCivilRights is at federal court in #ATX with @ACLUTx @ACLU to ask a federal judge to not allow #SB4 to take effect March 5. SB4 is a racist attempt by Gov Abbott to hunt/imprison migrants for political points. Follow TCRP for updates!
HAPPENING TODAY: Hear directly from migrants at the border on how restrictions to asylum and humanitarian parole impact their lives. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Texas border update 🗣️ 2023 saw an escalation of violence towards migrants crossing the border. From barbed wire, to buoys, and several anti-immigrant bills passing, the treatment of migrants at the border must change. Thankfully, the 5th Circuit ruled the buoys must be removed.
NEW: Redistricting litigation isn't simply about lines on a map — it's about how people are represented in government. In Galveston County, Texas, the community is the driving force behind the fight for a fair map, writes @RochelleMGarza of @TXCivilRights. democracydocket.com/opinion/in-a-c…

THERE'S STILL TIME: Radically anti-immigrant legislation, #HB4, can be stopped. But we need all Texans to take action. Contact your state senator and tell them that local and state police shouldn't have the right to deport people without due process.
