The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday issued a "travel advisory" for anyone traveling to Texas after the state's governor signed a controversial immigration bill.

The ACLU is warning that those traveling to Texas should "anticipate possible violations of their constitutional rights."

Because of the passage of #SB4, we are issuing a Texas travel advisory.

“The ACLU’s goal is to protect all Texans and all people traveling through Texas — regardless of their immigration status — from illegal harassment by law enforcement,” said Lorella Praeli, ACLU director of immigration policy and campaigns, in a statement.

“Texas is a state with deep Mexican roots and home to immigrants from all walks of life. Many of us fit the racial profile that the police in Texas will use to enforce Trump’s draconian deportation force.”
