A U.S. appeals court panel on Tuesday upheld most of a Republican-backed Texas law to punish “sanctuary cities,” allowing it to remain in effect while the case is being fought in a lower court.
...
In August 2017, Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia in San Antonio found the legislation was unlikely to withstand constitutional scrutiny and blocked sections of the law just days before it was to take effect. The case then went to the 5th Circuit.
Good news with this.
Currently, we officially have no sanctuary cities, but in case some were thinking about it - they just got pushed back.

You don’t need sanctuary cities in Texas. It’s a sanctuary state.

Illegals traipse around huge portions of Texas completely unmolested and with no real worries about immigration issues. There’s nothing vigorous or aggressive about immigration enforcement in Texas.
I was working in Texas late last year for two weeks ....in Seguin, Corsicana and McAllen, and the illegals are running around so thick in Texas that I had to laugh. I live in Arizona I don’t see that kind of impunity, and yet, the nation acts like we’re Ground Zero for the illegal immigration invasion.
They’re all over Texas’ large cities, the Permian Basin, the Pineywoods, and the North Plains area over into Arkansas. The Panhandle is chock full of illegal immigrant labor. Especially in the meatpacking areas.
And South Texas running over towards Laredo, and points west like Del Rio and Eagle Pass? Pfffft...half the Hispanics you bump into over there can’t speak a lick of English.

So you personally carded every person who didn't look or talk like you, and determined they were here illegally?? Wow, impressive!

WOW, 2 WHOLE weeks in 3 areas and you KNOW ALL of what is going on in a state the size of Texas.
Talk about illusions of self grandeur.
"and the illegals are running around so thick in Texas that I had to laugh. "
How did you KNOW they were illegal?
Did you ask each and every one of them?
It looks like you know NOTHING about DPS.
"DPS is South Texas' pioneer law enforcement conduit into the deportation pipeline for noncriminals. The agency dominates the flow running from local cops (including city police, sheriff's deputies, constables, and troopers) to the federal Border Patrol and ICE. DPS set itself up for this role beginning in 2005,"
"in 2009 Steve McCraw, a retired FBI agent and Governor Perry's homeland security adviser, was appointed DPS director. He soon turned DPS into a highly militarized police force, obsessed with crime on the border"
"In the first 100 days after Trump took office, according to ICE, arrests of undocumented immigrants were up 38% from the same period a year earlier. The biggest jump involved people with no criminal record. Their arrest rate rose 156%. From the end of January to the end of April, ICE arrested almost 11,000 people whose only mark on their record was an immigration violation (those are administrative matters, not crimes). The noncriminals constituted a quarter of all immigrants detained. That percentage was three times higher than the rate of immigrants detained during the last year of the Obama administration – 8% – who had no criminal records."

Texas still has them, but it remains to be seen what they will do about it.
