- Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the movement of sanctuary jurisdictions in the USA during the Trump administration, and to counteract these activities with the case of Texas through a study of the implementation of the immigration law SB-4. Considering the current context of immigration policy, both conservative and xenophobic, the sanctuary cities have been highlighted by the way in which they have sought to fight against these policies, providing the immigrant with greater security and dignity. In Texas' case, there is a greater approximation to federal directions, especially through the creation of SB-4 in 2017, which, among other provisions, forces local police to question the immigration status of any individuals. In sum, it is noted that the movement of Texas is contrary to the proposal of the sanctuary jurisdictions, because in developing SB-4, the immigrant and the state are put at risk, creating possibilities of economic and social losses.
