Some immigrant families are worried their communities will be uprooted and separated. Now, the focus is informing people of their rights.
AUSTIN, Texas — Local organizationFor months people have rallied against SB 4, the bill that would allow state police to arrest people they suspect came into Texas illegally. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court lifted a stay on it, only for it to be blocked again as arguments play out in court.
Some Central Texas immigrant families are worried their communities will be uprooted and separated, including Marleney Cristano, who left Honduras for Texas 30 years ago. "I feel and I hear in my community, sadness, frustration," said Cristano, a Workers Defense community member."They are taxpayers and they have rights and they have dignity in Texas." Now, the focus is informing people of their rights. The Hays County-based advocacy group Mano Amiga has been doing that. "For sure carry any type of ID," said Nataly Avendano with Mano Amiga.
"I have heard from people that they are thinking about leaving if that bill becomes permanent," said Cristano.
