SB 4 specifically applies to campus police, as well as police departments of cities, towns, or counties or other special authorities.  This includes a sheriff, municipal police department, municipal attorney, county attorney and district attorney.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q3">How will the UH Police Department respond to SB 4? </strong>As a public university, UH is bound to follow Texas law.  In compliance with SB 4, the University of Houston Police Department may not enact a policy or practice which prohibits the enforcement of immigration laws.  The UH Police Department has never had such a policy or practice, so there will not be a need to change course in order to comply with the law.  UHPD does not function as an immigration force, nor does it serve to facilitate an environment of fear.  UHPD officers are not checking the immigration status of students, faculty, staff, vendors, visitors, persons reporting crimes, or victims of crimes.  Campus police are here to support student success and to promote and preserve a safe campus environment for students, faculty, staff, and the public.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q4">Does SB 4 mean police departments are required to always ask about immigration status? </strong>No.  A police department, however, may not have any policy which materially limits a peace officer from:</p> <ul> <li>inquiring about the immigration status of a person under lawful detention or under arrest.  The definition of lawful detention excludes those who are detained as a victim of or witness to a crime, or reporting a crime;</li> <li>sending information to, maintaining, exchanging, or requesting information from ICE or other agency, or about the immigration status of a person in detention or under arrest;</li> <li>assisting or cooperating with federal immigration officers as reasonable or necessary, including providing enforcement assistance, unless at a place of worship; or</li> <li>permitting immigration officers to enter a jail to enforce immigration law.</li> </ul> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q5">When does the law go into effect? </strong>The law was originally scheduled to go into effect on September 1, 2017; however, a federal judge has temporarily delayed enforcement of the law, while the constitutionality of the law is litigated in court.  Therefore, SB 4 is not in effect at this time.  We will post updates on this site as they become available.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q6">I heard there is a lawsuit challenging SB 4 and I am confused about whether the law is actually in effect? </strong>The law was originally scheduled to go into effect on September 1, 2017; however, a federal judge has temporarily delayed enforcement of the law, while the constitutionality of the law is litigated in court.  Therefore, SB 4 is not in effect at this time.  We will post updates on this site as they become available.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q7">What is a sanctuary city? I have also heard the term sanctuary campus.  Is UH considered a sanctuary city or campus? </strong>The term “sanctuary city” has no specific legal meaning, but is generally used to describe local governments that do not enforce federal immigration laws, or are perceived to fail to enforce them. Similarly, the term “sanctuary campus” is another well-intentioned misnomer which has no specific legal meaning and is interpreted differently by distinct groups. It is therefore not a phrase used by the University since to some people it implies that the University or its students somehow seek to break the law.  The University continues to provide a supportive and nurturing educational environment for all its students as it complies with federal and state law.  The University's commitment to these values are encompassed in the <a href="#di_statement">UH Diversity and Inclusion Statement</a>.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q8">What obligations does a university police department have under SB 4? </strong> The obligations of the police department are defined by what it <em><u>cannot</u></em> do rather than what it <em><u>must</u></em> do.  A university police department <em><u>cannot</u></em> have a policy which prevents its officers from:</p> <ul> <li>inquiring about the immigration status of a person under lawful detention or under arrest;</li> <li>exchanging information with federal immigration authorities about the immigration status of a person under lawful detention or under arrest;</li> <li>assisting or cooperating with federal immigration authorities as reasonable or necessary, including providing enforcement assistance, unless at a place of worship; or</li> <li>permitting immigration officers to enter a jail to enforce immigration law.</li> </ul> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q9">Does SB 4 <em>require</em> police officers to ask for documented citizenship papers/legal status? </strong>No.  Officers are not required to ask for documentation of citizenship or legal status of persons who are detained or in their custody. UHPD does not generally ask for proof of citizenship; however, it is legally permissible for a police officer to ask for such information. As stated above, UHPD does not have a policy or practice which limits an officer from inquiring. Such a policy would be prohibited by this law.   </p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q10">Does SB 4 <u>allow</u> police officers to ask for documented citizenship papers/legal status? </strong>SB 4 allows police to ask about the immigration status of a person under lawful detention or under arrest.  Lawful detention means you have been detained by the police for the investigation of a criminal offense, unless the sole reason you are detained is that you are a victim or a witness, or that you are reporting a crime.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q11">I am concerned about racial profiling under SB 4. Has the University taken a stand against racial profiling by campus police? </strong>The University of Houston is committed to fair treatment of all students.  In addition, SB 4 expressly forbids racial profiling or other discrimination by officers.  The University's commitment to these ideals is encompassed in the UH Diversity and Inclusion Statement below.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q12">Are there places or situations under SB 4 that law enforcement are not allowed to ask about legal status? </strong>A law enforcement officer may not inquire about the immigration status of a victim or of a witness unless it is necessary to investigate the offense, or to provide them with information about federal visas designed to protect individuals assisting law enforcement.  Additionally, the police department may prohibit a peace officer from assisting federal immigration authorities at a place of worship.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q13">If I am an undocumented student, does SB 4 allow campus police to arrest or detain me and turn me over to ICE? </strong>UHPD does not function as an immigration force, nor does it serve to facilitate an environment of fear.  UHPD officers are not proactively checking the immigration status of students, faculty, staff, vendors, visitors, persons reporting crimes, or victims of crimes.  UHPD policy is to comply with the law. UHPD is not issuing any restrictions that are incongruent with the law. If you are subject to a lawful detention or under arrest, any officer, including campus police, cannot be prohibited from asking about your immigration status, sending the information to ICE, maintaining the information, or exchanging the information with another agency.  The law also provides that once ICE is contacted and ICE provides a “detainer” then the agency has to honor the detainer request.  The law requires UHPD to comply if ICE were to make a reasonable specific request to provide enforcement assistance.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q14">If I have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) am I protected since DACA is considered lawful presence? </strong>If you have been granted DACA then you can communicate that fact if stopped by the police. Show the officer your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and explain you have DACA, which provides for lawful presence here in the U.S. You should always carry your original official approval notice from USCIS for DACA, as well as your EAD, and also your official identification on you at all times.</p> <p><a href="#questions">Back to questions</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong id="q15">Where can students who are affected by the bill find support on campus?</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>The University of Houston Law Center's immigration clinic</strong> is available to UH students from any campus who need a free intake consultation.
