Governor Greg Abbott promptly announced an additional special legislative session, starting Tuesday evening, including a call for a measure like House Bill 4 to criminalize illegal entry and reentry and authorize “the removal of illegal immigrants from Texas.” In response, lawmakers filed identical versions of an updated bill titled, respectively, House Bill 4 and Senate Bill 4.<br><a href="https://www.texasobserver.org/immigration-local-police-border-hb-4/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">texasobserver.org/immigration-</span><span class="invisible">local-police-border-hb-4/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=884&Bill=SB4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/H</span><span class="invisible">istory.aspx?LegSess=884&Bill=SB4</span></a></p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BORDER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BORDER</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GREGABBOTT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GREGABBOTT</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/IMMIGRATION" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IMMIGRATION</span></a> <br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/OPERATIONLONESTAR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OPERATIONLONESTAR</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/POLICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POLICE</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SUPREMECOURT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SUPREMECOURT</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TEXASLEGISLATURE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEXASLEGISLATURE</span></a></p>
