Ruling allows part of Texas sanctuary cities bill to go into effect

AUSTIN (KXAN) — In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals will allow Texas to enforce part of its sanctuary cities law while it appeals a lower court ruling that blocked it from going into effect.
Senate Bill 4 banned sanctuary cities and allows law enforcement agencies in Texas to ask people about their immigration status during routine traffic stops. It also threatens elected officials with removal from office if they don’t cooperate
