Texas is about to join Arizona on the list of states with sweeping anti-immigrant laws. On April 30, Texas's House of Representatives approved Senate Bill 4, which had already passed through the Senate. Gover**r Greg Abbott, a Republican anti-immigrant stalwart (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-gover**r-abbott-threatens-austin-sheriff-sanctuary-cities-immigrants/), is expected to sign the bill (http://dailytexa**nline.com/2017/04/30/senate-bill-4-signals-new-era-of-hate-in-texas) following a committee hearing.
Senate Bill 4 (SB4) echoes the tenants of Arizona's **torious "Show Me Your Papers" legislation that passed in 2010 but was later amended and stripped of its strength (http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-arizona-law-20160915-snap-story.html). Texas's proposed law would allow police ******r to question the immigration status of anyone detained (https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB4/2017) with "reasonable suspicion" of breaking any law. What's dangerous about this is it affords police the power to potentially incriminate detainees as opposed to arrestees.

In addition to emboldening police to detain civilians who might be undocumented immigrants, the bill also prohibits cities in the state from passing bills that would curtail SB4's provisions. Police would be required to comply with federal requests to detain suspected undocumented immigrants, making ******rs pseudo immigration agents. At its core, SB4 targets "sanctuary city" and preys upon people whose only crime is existing as an immigrant. Even if an undocumented immigrant has **t broken a law, SB4 permits police with the power to question anyone's immigration status.
Critics and demonstrators have appealed to the gover**r since the SB4 passed through the Senate in February (http://www.kvue.com/news/politics/sb4-passed-commiittee-what-happens-next/397052675). One state lawmaker, Victoria Neave, protested the bill's House vote (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/04/25/texas-lawmaker-on-four-day-hunger-strike-in-protest-of-sanctuary-city-bill/?utm_term=.36354f9d7338) with a four-day fast. Other activists challenged Gover**r Abbott at his ****** in Austin on May 1: after the building closed 24 activists (including one Austin City Council Member) were arrested (https://www.texasobserver.org/senate-bill-4-protest-gover**r/) according to the Texas Tribune.

It seems unlikely that Abbott will veto SB4 given his past statements about defunding sanctuary cities (https://www.popsugar.com/news/What-Sanctuary-City-42848553). Abbott went after Travis County police department when the sheriff, Sally Hernandez, an**unced that her county's jail would **t detain immigrants for federal authorities. Abbott sent the county, which encompasses most of Austin, TX, a letter demanding it reverse the policy or face defunding (https://www.wsj.com/articles/immigration-standoff-brewing-between-texas-gover**r-county-sheriff-1485555737).
