Controversial Texas Immigration Law Could Take Effect Today

Texas SB4 Immigration Law will go into effect Wednesday afternoon if the U.S. Supreme Court takes no further action before 4 p.m.  The new law will allow state and local law enforcement officers to arrest and prosecute migrants illegally entering the state.
