On June 7, 2017, at least a hundred activists made their way to Dallas City Hall to protest the vote of the upcoming Senate Bill 4, otherwise known as the "sanctuary cities" bill. This bill would grant local police departments the authority to question a person's immigration status upon detainment.
The morning session began with several speakers lined up to speak about the upcoming Senate Bill 4. June 7, 2017
