When Texas governor Greg Abbott went on Facebook Live to sign Senate Bill 4 on May 7, it took many by surprise, including many Texans who have been fighting against the bill. To opponents of SB 4, the new bill is just a more subtle version of Arizona's anti-immigrant SB 1070 bill. Tony Diaz and Celina Moreno join us to talk about SB 4 and what it means for the Lone Star State. Tony is an original Rebelde based in Houston and Celina is an attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF).
