Texas’ SB 4 immigration law: What you need to know
Quick Glance: Highly Controversial Texas Immigration Law Delayed Again
  • A law in Texas that allows local and state police officers to arrest individuals suspected of being in the country illegally has been postponed by the United States Supreme Court “until further notice from the court.”

  • Senate Bill 4 was approved towards the end of 2023 as part of a prioritized set of immigration and border security legislations supported by Governor Greg Abbott and other conservative leaders. Notably, the legislation empowers local judges to mandate a migrant's return to Mexico irrespective of their nationality.

  • The lawsuit against SB 4 was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and the Texas Civil Rights Project on behalf of various organizations like the Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, American Gateways, and El Paso County. It specifically targets Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw and El Paso County District Attorney Bill Hicks.

  • Adriana Piñon, the director of ACLU of Texas, conveyed to The Texas Newsroom that although the fate of the law remains uncertain, the recent decision by the Supreme Court should provide temporary relief for colored Texans.

Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts leaving for Texas A&M
Quick Glance: Nebraska Athletic Director Leaving for Texas A&M
  • Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts is leaving the school for the same job at Texas A&M, confirmed by a source to the World-Herald late Wednesday afternoon.

  • Alberts was identified as a top target for the same job at Texas A&M in various media reports, and after hours of speculation, a source confirmed on Wednesday that he accepted the offer about a week after A&M's initial interest.

  • If A&M lands Alberts, they will need to pay an additional $4.12 million to buy out his contract at Nebraska, which was extended last year for eight years.

  • A former Husker football player and academic All-American, Alberts has made significant changes in Nebraska's athletic department in less than three years, including firing a football coach, securing a $301 million multimedia rights deal, and planning a $450 million overhaul of Memorial Stadium.

Texas Congressman Colin Allred will face Sen. Ted Cruz in November
Quick Glance: U.S. Rep. Colin Allred Emerges Victorious in Democratic Senate Primary
  • U.S. Representative Colin Allred from Dallas declared his triumph in the Texas Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday evening. State Senator Roland Gutierrez from San Antonio, his nearest rival in the race, conceded.

  • Having 62% of polling stations reporting by 10:56 p.m., Allred secured 58.92% of the votes. Gutierrez obtained 17.06%. By sidestepping a potential May runoff, Allred can now focus solely on a November showdown against the incumbent U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

  • Throughout the primary, Allred portrayed himself as a general-election candidate, directing his criticism towards Cruz and paying little attention to the other Democrats competing for the nomination. His success indicates that Texas Democrats responded positively to his more moderate approach.

  • Texas has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in over three decades, but the party remains optimistic following Cruz's narrow victory over former U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke in 2018. Allred's win demonstrates that Texas Democrats favored his centrist strategy.

US federal judiciary adopts policy to curtail 'judge shopping'
Quick Glance: Random Judge Assignments to Combat 'Judge Shopping' in U.S. Courts
  • Federal judiciary leaders have introduced a policy mandating the random assignment of judges in civil cases with statewide or national significance to address concerns regarding 'judge shopping' in single-judge divisions.

  • Courts can still assign cases to a single-judge division if they do not involve seeking statewide or federal actions through declaratory judgment or injunctive relief.

  • The random case-assignment policy aims to deter judge shopping and prevent cases from being assigned based on the perceived merits or abilities of a specific judge, promoting proceedings' impartiality and enhancing public trust in the federal Judiciary.

  • While some experts welcome the policy change, others question the Judicial Conference's authority and argue that Congress should provide solutions rather than a policymaking body.
