Roughly one week after the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals handed Texas a win on its border security law, SB 4, the law is facing a second legal challenge.
The American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Texas, and the Texas Civil Rights Project filed a class-action lawsuit on Monday seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to block the law from going into effect.
The law, which makes illegal entry into Texas a state crime, is set to go into effect May 15. It gives Texas law enforcement the authority to return illegal foreign nationals to a port of entry and/or arrest them for unlawful entry, among other provisions.
After the bill was signed into law in 2023, multiple groups sued, arguing the law is unconstitutional. A district court and panel of Fifth Circuit judges agreed.
The full Fifth Circuit disagreed and reversed the lower court’s ruling – but solely on procedural grounds. The court held the plaintiffs didn’t have standing to sue, enabling a door to remain open challenging the law on its merits. As expected, another lawsuit was filed.

These types of organizations, and the people who support them financially are genuine enemies of America, and of the American people.
Gee, looks like the ACLU orders lawsuits by the crate…
You can count on the ACLU to get it wrong almost every time (and I can’t remember an issue where they DID get it right).
Don’t you love how the left suddenly defers to the Federal government for border enforcement, while attacking ICE agents?
Rome: “First, kill all the lawyers.”
No standing but that only seems to matter when it’s our side.
Why would you fight this unless you are pro-criminal?
Why would you fight this unless you are pro-criminal?
They fight this because they know Texas will be able to shut down the invasion of their state even if the rats get back in power. If this stands every red state can do it.
We should just be able to shoot invaders.
If a country starts at its borders, is that not its property line?
That would help reduce illegal immigration even if the federal government enforcement got lax again.
Build Back Better means destroying first.
Once the build is done, then the criminals will be first against the wall.
ACLU is kissing cousins with SPLC.
ACLU shoild be right up there with the southern poverty scam, being investigated, indicted, and prosecuted
Much like the NAA”L”CP(thanks rush).
The Texas law doesn’t deport anyone. It merely sends the illegal to a border control port and lets the Federal Immigration take over.

I wonder if these faggotized aCLU boyz would like a good Texas ass kicking?
These bastards continually throw spike strips onto any road that leads to actual justice. They never quit. Follow the friggin money.
Just who are the ACLU representing here?
I agree 100%. At the very least a very deep dive into the backgrounds of their boards, their CEO/CFO etc. is essential. If I were a foreign enemy trying to take down the US, I would use organizations like these as tools. If you or I can see this as a weak-link entry point, you can bet those who hate America (e.g. Soros) also see it.
