AUSTIN, Texas Roughly 20 people were detained and served with misdemeanor trespassing tickets Monday after refusing to leave offices of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott unless he agreed to veto a Republican-backed effort to crack down on sanctuary jurisdictions.

Opponents say the bill will lead to increased deportations, undermine trust between police and immigrant communities, and put Hispanics at risk for racial profiling.

Dozens of activists gathered Monday morning in front of the south gates of the Texas Capitol, before marching down the street to the beat of a drum, chanting, No SB4! When the throng of protesters arrived at the State Insurance Building, where several of the governors offices are located, they walked up the stairs. Several sat in the lobby, vowing not to move.

We dont have rights, activist Carmen Zubieta yelled in Spanish through a bullhorn. And then they make a business out of putting us in jail, she added a reference to the fact that roughly two-thirds of immigrant detention center beds are run as for-profit enterprises by private prison contractors.
