Gov. Greg Abbott has followed through on his threat to cut off state funding for Travis County over its new "sanctuary" policy.
Abbott's office said Wednesday it has canceled criminal justice grants it usually administers to the county, whose sheriff, Sally Hernandez, recently announced her department would reduce its cooperation with federal immigration authorities when they request an inmate be flagged for possible deportation. The policy was set to go into effect Wednesday.
The move appears to target about $1.5 million Travis County was due to receive this year from the criminal justice division of the governor’s office. The division doled out $1.8 million to the county last year and has already paid out roughly $300,000 in 2017.

Follow the law or else. Works for me!
Cut off every nickle of state money to Travis County, make them squeal.
Take the money away from the liberals, and they become helpless and ranting mobs in the street until $oreA$$’s Rent a Mob money runs out.
This is going to be fun to watch.
sweeeeeeeet
Just pass a Law making Public Servants Legally and Civilly Liable for any Injury or loss to Any citizen or Legal resident as a result of a Known Illegal Alien.
$1.5 million will not get their attention, but it’s a start. Abbot needs to come up with other ways to put pressure on these secessionists.
I would cancel every cent.
Oh no’s! The police will now be unable to protect women and children.
The consequences of breaking the laws
These sanctuary folks just need arrested and jailed.. they are violating the law... they are criminals... their belief that their compassion justifies their criminality is insane... need to frog march these morons and throw the book at them.
Now that’s an awesome thought!!!....please express email to him and the spineless pubs at the hill!!!

The only problem is that it's not this idiot cop-ette that is being harmed. It's other agencies, departments, courts, and others.
Good on Abbott for keeping his word!
Keep turning off the $ till the blues fold.
Good
The idea is that by putting pressure on the other agencies, they will put pressure on the responsible agency to fire this idiot and change their policy.
I would cancel every cent.
I’d do more than that. I’d start impeachment procedings for dereliction of duty, harboring fugitives, picking and choosing which criminals to permit to live amongst us.
How many of these Austin County illegals are sexual offenders? Are any of them subject to registering and reporting their residence?
If the sheriff refuses to say then she should be jailed. Our people could be in grave danger.
GO ABBOTT!
“This idiot” is elected. Can’t be fired.
Too bad. But hey! This is Austin. Keep Austin Weird, right?
Weird and broke.
