A federal appeals court cleared Texas to enforce SB 4 while the legal challenge continues. The ruling was issued on or before 2026-05-30. Governor Greg Abbott announced the decision. He stated that Texas received a major border security victory.
SB 4 makes illegal entry into Texas a state crime. The law hands Texas police the power to arrest people who cross illegally. Abbott said the state will keep fighting in the courts, working with President Trump, and doing everything necessary to secure the border and protect Texans.
