Case Summary

This suit challenged Texas's "Sanctuary City" legislation, Senate Bill 4 (SB4), which required local Texas law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials and punished them if they did not. Unlike the other suits in this special collection, this suit did not challenge President Trump's "Sanctuary City" Executive Order. There were three other cases addressing SB4 (in addition to this one). This case was before Judge Orlando L. Garcia, as was El Paso County v. Texas, No. 17-cv-004…

This suit challenged Texas's "Sanctuary City" legislation, Senate Bill 4 (SB4), which required local Texas law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials and punished them if they did not. Unlike the other suits in this special collection, this suit did not challenge President Trump's "Sanctuary City" Executive Order.

There were three other cases addressing SB4 (in addition to this one). This case was before Judge Orlando L. Garcia, as was El Paso County v. Texas, No. 17-cv-00459 (W.D. Tex.), and City of San Antonio, Texas v. State of Texas, No. 17-cv-00489 (W.D. Tex.). The final case, Texas v. Travis County, No. 17-cv-00425 (W.D. Tex.), was before Judge Sparks.

The three cases pending before Judge Garcia were brought by pro-immigration cities and counties seeking an injunction barring implementation of SB4. The other case was brought by Texas, which sought a declaratory judgment to uphold SB4 against pro-immigration cities and counties. On June 6, Judge Garcia ordered a consolidation of this case with the San Antonio and El Paso cases, with this case becoming the lead case in the consolidation. The Travis County case, however, remained separate.

On this case:

On May 8, 2017, the City of El Cenizo filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The suit alleged that SB4 violated the 10th Amendment by commandeering local government and that it was preempted under federal immigration law. El Cenizo also alleged that the law's requirement that cities obey Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests—i.e., requests to allow ICE to take someone into custody—violated the Fourth Amendment. In a later amended complaint, El Cenizo added allegations that SB4's ban on “endorsing” a policy against immigration enforcement violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments, and that its ban on "materially limit[ing]" immigration enforcement was unconstitutionally vague under the Fourteenth Amendment. Plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief. Plaintiffs were initially represented by private counsel, but various public interest organizations were later involved in the case, including the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the ACLU, and the South Texas Civil Rights Project.

Numerous procedural developments took place over the summer as the plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction. The defendants sought to dismiss the cases and numerous entities sought to intervene.

The plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint on May 18. And they filed a second amended complaint on June 8 once the claims were consolidated. The plaintiffs moved again for a preliminary injunction on June 5, 2017. The defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated case. The court allowed the City of Austin to intervene on June 12, 2017 and Austin filed an intervenor complaint that day. The plaintiffs filed another amended complaint on June 19, 2017. The same day, the plaintiffs and intervenors filed four separate motions for preliminary injunction.

On June 21, 2017, Texas moved to dismiss the City of Austin’s complaint in intervention and El Paso County’s first amended complaint. Later that week, Judge Garcia granted two motions to intervene: to Travis County and the City of Dallas. On June 28 and 29, 2017, the state of Texas filed a series of motions to dismiss. The court allowed the City of Houston and the Texas Association of Hispanic County Judges and County Commissioners to intervene on June 30, 2017. On July 14, 2017, the defendants filed motions to dismiss two complaints on intervention (the City of Houston and the Texas Association of Hispanic County Judges & County Commissioners). The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on July 20, 2017, to which the defendants responded with a motion to dismiss. The court denied Texas' motion to dismiss El Paso County's complaint on August 15, 2017.

SB4 was set to go into effect on September 1, 2017, but on August 30 Judge Garcia granted a preliminary injunction against enforcement of certain provisions of the law. 264 F. Supp. 3d 744 (W.D. Tex. 2017). In particular, Judge Garcia held that: 1) the provision stating that local government officials may not "adopt, enforce, or endorse a policy under which the entity or department prohibits or materially limits the enforcement of immigration laws" violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments; 2) the detainer request provision violated the Fourth Amendment; and 3) the provision barring local laws against employees assisting federal officials with immigration enforcement was preempted by federal law. The following day, the defendants appealed that injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (case number 17-50762) and filed a motion to stay pending the appeal in the district court. The motion to stay was denied.

Meanwhile, the following entities submitted briefs in support of the motion for a preliminary injunction: El Paso County, Travis County, the City of Austin, the City of San Antonio, the City of Dallas, the City of Houston, the City of San Marcos, the El Cenizo plaintiffs, the Anti-Defamation League, the Harris County attorney at the time, Major Cities Chiefs Association, Police Executive Research Forum, the United States Conference of Mayors, the National Human Rights Commission of Mexico, and a Houston-based law firm specializing in immigration law.

At the appeals court, on September 25, 2017, the Fifth Circuit denied in part and granted in part the defendants' motion to stay the preliminary injunction while appeal was pending. 2017 WL 4250186. The court stayed the injunction on the enforcement of the SB4 provision banning local laws against employees assisting federal officials with immigration enforcement. The court also stayed the injunction on the provision requiring enforcement agencies to comply with detainer requests issued by ICE. The plaintiffs then cross-appealed to the Fifth Circuit on September 29 from the denial of their relief in the preliminary injunction order. Oral argument was held on November 7, 2017. Many amici were represented at this stage, including the federal government and the states of West Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama, and many others in support of Texas. Amici in support of the plaintiffs included the Major Cities Chiefs Association, U.S. Conference of Mayors, Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights, Texas Senate Hispanic Caucus, Mexican American Legislative Caucus, Interfaith Coalition of Clergy and Religious Organizations, and many others.

The Fifth Circuit largely reversed the injunction on March 13, 2018, holding that SB4 did not violate the constitution with the exception of the prohibition on Texas officials "endors[ing] a policy under which the entity or department prohibits or materially limits the enforcement of immigration laws." 885 F.3d 332 (5th Cir. 2018). The court struck down that part of the statute, finding that it violated the First Amendment and lacked a limiting principle. As to the other provisions, the court held that Texas law was not preempted by federal law in this case, because while federal law regulates how local entities may cooperate in immigration enforcement, SB4 specifies whether they cooperate. The court also found that the immigration detainer provision was not facially unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment, and that the Constitution does not require probable cause of criminality to detain in the immigration context, though it left the door open for an as-applied challenge should violations occur or ICE policy change. The court found that the provision forbidding policies or practices that "materially limit[]" the enforcement of immigration laws was not facially vague, and the Texas Constitution did not prevent Texas from preempting cities' home-rule authority in passing SB4. The case was ordered remanded to the district court to vacate the remaining injunction provisions that had halted full implementation of SB4. The plaintiffs later unsuccessfully petitioned the Fifth Circuit for a rehearing en banc. The Fifth Circuit also issued an amended opinion on May 8, 2018, with only minor changes. 890 F.3d 164. 

According to the ACLU, the Fifth Circuit's decision meant that local officials were free to speak out against laws like SB4 that would require cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. For example, sheriffs and police chiefs could continue to speak publicly about why asking about immigration status is a poor police practice that harms public safety. However, because of the Fifth Circuit's May 2018 decision, local Texas officials were obligated under SB4 to assist in federal immigration enforcement, and could face penalties for declining requests to assist with federal immigration agents.

However, the preliminary injunction had not covered the statute in its entirety. On April 22, 2019, the court stated as much in an order requesting an update from the parties as to the status of the litigation. The court reiterated that after the appeal, neither of the parties had continued to litigate though live claims still remained.

On September 12, 2019, the El Cenizo and Travis County plaintiffs and the cities of Houston and Dallas filed to voluntarily dismiss their remaining claims with prejudice. In light of the failure of the facial challenge to SB4 and the Fifth Circuit's opinion, these plaintiffs no longer wanted to pursue the remaining as-applied claims.

But on December 13, 2019, the City of Austin filed an amended complaint. It sought a declaratory judgment that SB4 violated the First Amendment because it penalized city officials for protected speech that "endorsed" policies contradicting SB4. It also sought an injunction against its enforcement. The city of El Paso, along with Project Education Fund and MOVE Texas, also filed an amended complaint on December 13. They alleged that SB4 imposed unconstitutional mandates on local governments, facilitated discriminatory policing, chilled protected speech, and was pretext for discriminatory intent. They claimed that the ordinance violated the Fourteenth Amendment (equal protection) and the First Amendment. They sought declaratory relief and an injunction against SB4's enforcement, as well as attorneys' fees and costs. The following month, on January 16, the City of San Antonio also filed a second amended complaint that alleged violations of the Supremacy Clause, the First Amendment (free speech and academic freedom), the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure), and the Fourteenth Amendment (procedural and substantive due process and equal protection). The complaint requested declaratory relief, an injunction, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys' fees.

The defendants moved to dismiss all three complaints. El Paso County subsequently filed a third amended complaint on February 24, 2020, to clarify one of their claims; the defendants again moved to dismiss this complaint.

As of October 2024, the court has not yet ruled on the motions to dismiss, and there have been no docket entries since February 12, 2024. It is unclear whether this case is ongoing.
