A federal appeals court ruled that a Texas law cracking down on illegal immigration can indeed stand.
The ruling puts a damper in the long-running leftist messaging that says the White House, under President Donald Trump, can’t fight sanctuary cities’ policies.
BREAKNG: Texas Ban on Sanctuary City Policies upheld by Federal Court of Appeals. Allegations of discrimination were rejected. Law is in effect.

The three-judge panel in New Orleans’ 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said loud and clear: Texas has the right to enforce federal immigration law.
The Daily Caller has more:
A three-judge panel in New Oreans’ 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Texas’ current immigration enforcement laws are constitutional. Senate Bill 4 enacted the law allowing local law enforcement officers to question the immigration status of people they detain or arrest, The Texas Tribune reported.
The only part of the bill that remains on hold is a provision punishing local government leaders and or elected officials who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration officials, such as the mayor of Oakland, Calif., who tipped off residents of an immigration raid.
Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent out a tweet in support of the federal courts ruling, saying “Allegations of discrimination were rejected” and the “Law is in effect.”
“It is lawful, constitutional, and protects the safety of law enforcement officers and all Texans,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tweeted in support of the ruling.
Texas is the first state where these immigration laws will be implemented.

Agree. unite and fightback , its democracy and nobody can impose their views if majority are against it and willing to fight it socially and legally like these American patriots did to stop islamisation of schools https://tinyurl.com/y8yzso88

I HATE it when you make or receive a phone call and you are SUPPOSED to press 1 for English or 2 for a foreign language. My response is: I live in America. I AM an American. Americans speak ENGLISH! Often, after that, I hang up.

Unelected judges are legislating from the bench and overriding the Constitution.

Good news but there is one sentence which should be a warning to the US of its future if it doesn’t take action on immigration: “Texas is the first state where these immigration laws will be implemented”. What are the others doing, or thinking? Will they follow?

Don’t worry. California would never endorse following the law. Why, even the mayor of Oakland openly broke the law and nothing came of it.

We the People in Maryland are fighting the DemocRATic communist/muslem party members that want to make Maryland a S—hole State.
We the People want LEGAL Immigrants who WANT to move into the state that will live under the Constitution of America.

This is for you, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo.

So you mean we must obey the laws? A novel concept. Haven’t seen that in awhile.
This is very hopeful. It smells of common sense, quite unexpected.

A model for the nation. The EU should also pay attention and then go into its “coulda, shoulda, woulda” routine.

I used to, until I saw a vid of the poor dumb bastards all standing in a miles long line, with all their banned guns piled up in their arms–cold dead hands is what I say, I won’t be found standing in a line to give back my illegal anything

Three (?) years ago 86% of Germans approved their being invaded . At the same time , they were buying up every firearm they were allowed to have (two BB guns and a slingshot) .

Just one item needs to be remedied. The ability to arrest those DemocRATs who are breaking FEDERAL LAW and think they are above the laws-of-the-land.

Good for Texas ! Be nice to see SCOTUS uphold the law , after seeing what Holder did to Arizona .
Validate your 2nd Amendment Rights… Carry !

Good start, but it needs to go further. Government leaders such as the Mayor of Oakland should be prosecuted and jailed for defying the law !!!
