"Immigrants are already penalized for receiving cash welfare when looking to apply for U.S. citizenship. This proposed policy would expand the definition of what makes an immigrant a "public charge."

Sanctuary City Ban SB4

The federal court appeals made a decision on the Senate Bill 4 that was approved by the Texas legislature and signed by Republican Governor Gregg Abbot in the month of May of last year.

Within this policy, it allows the police to ask the immigration status of individuals as it also requires law enforcement to cooperate with the federal authorities to detain criminal suspects for possible deportation or face jail time and be removed from office. This new ruling can be potentially dangerous as it allows the use of unlawful racial profiling and discrimination against colored minorities
