Parts of SB4 were previously blocked over questions of the SB4's constitutionality. In today's ruling, the Fifth Circuit finds that the entire bill is constitutional, with the exception of one part that bars local entities or campus police from endorsing limits on enforcement.pic.twitter.com/jTB1mfARyp

This is what an ICE detainer looks like. It's an administrative request that's signed by an immigration officer, not a judge. In Texas, this is what's required for local authorities to hold someone on behalf of ICE. https://www.ice.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Document/2017/I-247A.pdf …

Other district courts have ruled the other way. ICE detainers, which are barred in California by SB54, are controversial partly because US citizens have been held under them -- and later sued local authorities for Fourth Amendment violations.
