The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled that Senate Bill 4, the state’s so-called sanctuary cities ban, can remain the law of the land in Texas for now, stating that the cities that challenged the law will likely lose in their federal court suit.

Plaintiffs in the case include Austin and most of Texas’ other large cities, which sought to overturn the controversial law. It requires cities and counties to enforce detention requests placed on local jail inmates suspected of illegal immigration.

The ruling does overturn one provision that prohibited local elected officials to “endorse” so-called sanctuary city policies.

Attorney General Ken Paxton cheered the ruling.

“I’m pleased the 5th Circuit recognized that Senate Bill 4 is lawful, constitutional and protects the safety of law enforcement officers and all Texans,” Paxton said. “Enforcing immigration law prevents the release of individuals from custody who have been charged with serious crimes. Dangerous criminals shouldn’t be allowed back into our communities to possibly commit more crimes.”



This latest ruling is not the end to the legal challenge against the 2017 law. Tuesday’s ruling only struck down a large portion of a temporary injunction put in place by San Antonio federal judge Orlando Garcia on Aug. 30. That court has yet to make a final determination in the case.

Whatever the outcome in San Antonio, many involved in the case agree that the SB 4 lawsuit is destined for the Supreme Court.

These same decent Californians allowed their own state to go to hell in a hand basket. Some will have learned the lesson of Kalifornication. Others will come there and continue to vote in a way that will screw your state too, eventually. We have the same issue with DYs here in the south.
