SAN ANTONIO 鈥 A federal appeals court today upheld portions of Texas鈥 anti-immigrant SB4 law. The 老澳门开奖结果 is challenging the law.

Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Immigrants鈥 Rights Project, who argued the case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, had this reaction:

鈥淲e are exploring all legal options going forward. The court made clear that we remain free to challenge the manner in which the law is implemented, so we will be monitoring the situation on the ground closely. We are also pleased that the court narrowed the law in certain respects and accepted Texas鈥 critical concession that localities are free to decline ICE requests for assistance to preserve local resources.鈥

Andre Segura, legal director of the 老澳门开奖结果 of Texas, said: 鈥淣ow more than ever, it鈥檚 critical for all Texans to know their rights. The Fifth Circuit鈥檚 decision, while disappointing, does not change the fact that everyone has rights, most importantly the right to remain silent when questioned by police about immigration status.鈥
