'Texas deserves better:' Hundreds gather in Downtown Dallas to protest SB 4

One of the rally organizers told a crowd of hundreds of demonstrators that SB 4 was a"hateful, cruel and racist law."DALLAS — Dallas is hundreds of miles from the border, but Sunday downtown it was clear we have neighbors here at home who not only are not only angry about controversial immigration law"Injustice in the border is injustice in Dallas and there’s Latinx people everywhere," Karyme Flores, one of the demonstrators at an anti-SB 4 rally told WFAA.

The Supreme Court originally put SB 4 on hold, but earlier this week allowed it to take effect. It was the law of the land for about eight hours before an appeals court stopped it again. The rally downtown was put on by people who say they need it to stay that way. "We’re standing up against them," demonstrator Maria Arriaga added.

"My mom’s an immigrant, my dad’s an immigrant," Arriaga said."And they’re just scared to come outside because of fear of the law."
