In May 2017, we began receiving e-mails from readers asking if it was true that the American Civil Liberties Union had issued a travel warning or alert for the state of Texas: Out of context, the claim sounds potentially like fake news. But it is easily verified via the ACLU's social media accounts, where posts reference the warning: The ACLU linked to 9 May 2017 Quartz item, which reported the 7 May 2017 passage of a law enabling police to inquire about the immigration status of anyone they detained, even those who have been stopped for minor traffic violations: Before the ACLU issued a national alert, its Texas branch published a blog post explaining why it opposes the law: SB4 is scheduled to be implemented in Texas on 1 September 2017.
