Item 66 No final action

Discuss legal issues related to SB 4, passed during the 85th Texas Legislative Session, regarding enforcement by local governmental entities of state and federal immigration laws. (Private consultation with legal counsel - Section 551.071 of the Government Code).

Council is set to meet privately with its legal counsel to talk through legal issues tied to SB 4, a state law passed during the 85th Texas Legislative Session that deals with how local governments enforce state and federal immigration laws. Because this is a closed-door consultation under Section 551.071 of the Government Code, the public won't be in the room for the discussion itself. It matters because it touches on how Austin navigates its legal obligations around immigration enforcement.
