Texas Senate Bill 4 of 2017 bars sanctuary policies statewide and Texas House Bill 4 of 2023 deepens local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, requiring Plano Police to honor ICE detainers and inquire about status during lawful stops.
Texas Senate Bill 4 of 2017, codified primarily in Government Code Chapter 752, prohibits cities, counties, and police agencies from adopting sanctuary policies that limit immigration enforcement cooperation. Officials face removal, fines up to 25,500 dollars per day, and Class A misdemeanor charges. The law authorizes officers to ask about immigration status during lawful stops. Texas later expanded enforcement through additional bills, requiring jails to honor ICE detainers. Plano Police comply by participating in federal Secure Communities, allowing ICE access to arrestees, and forwarding detainer requests through the Collin County Detention Facility.
Officials adopting sanctuary policies face removal from office, daily fines, and criminal charges. Police agencies refusing detainers risk state lawsuits and loss of state grant funding under Government Code 752.
