What are the resolutions?
One of the measures restricts officers from asking the status of immigrants without first permitting them to not answer the question.
The other instructs officers to refrain from arresting people for low-level offenses such as smoking marijuana, possessing drug paraphernalia, petty theft, and other misdemeanors.

As for the public, something might not be of a "high value" but that doesn't mean people can easily afford to keep replacing things that they need.
Keep Austin Isolated
Austin should be strictly quarantined because its socialist public policy is far deadlier than any known communicable disease. Citizenship status not withstanding, by what statutory authority can an elected City Council prohibit sworn Texas peace officers from enforcing the provisions of the Texas Penal Code? Can child sex trafficking, human smuggling, rape and murder committed by “immigrants” also be declared unenforceable in Austin?
Valid questions. Officers are sworn to uphold the law. How can someone tell them not to?
Is identity theft or fake driver’s license a petty crime?
But UT grads don’t keep their mental illness in Austin.
Illegal immigrants are cut a break that white citizens are not especially with dwi.
At what point is it discrimination to be prosecuted while others are cut loose?
“Austin declares itself first ‘Freedom City’ in Texas, hopes to reduce deportations”
Hey Austin, knock yourself. Make it Juarez north.
Libs may learn that cities supporting school prayer or are anti-abortion could also become ‘sanctuaries’

Simple solution: checkpoints on all roads out of Austin. Let anyone in who wants in, announce that illegals caught outbound will be immediately deported. Let that simmer for a few months. Ignore the screams.
“Valid questions. Officers are sworn to uphold the law. How can someone tell them not to?”
They will do whatever they are told. Vacations, health care, pensions, etc.
Weird and wacky Austin. You have to expect this kind of nonsense from those weirdos. They live in another world. Don’t know what the hell they are doing in Texas.
burglaries and autotheft have skyrocketed in California since the passage of prop 47, which reduced penalties for such crimes to basically parole as “non-violent” crime.
If they are caught, they simply handed a strongly worded letter to not do that again.....
Areas which had never been targets for crime are now being hit and hit hard.
Where I live, my brother had his truck stolen, $40k worth of tools and damage to the truck.
Cops found his truck but, informed him to not hold his breath on the punks every doing any real time in the slammer due to prop 47.
WTH? So, these azzhats will just run around continue to victimize good people over and over with no recourse.....
Unreal.
No Justice - No Peace
The laws against theft are especially needed to protect the poor as they can do little to get their property back, and because they are poor, a loss, even a small one, is a permanent loss. This is just another case of the Democrats looking out for the little guy.
The SCOTUS has ruled that "any person" in this context means just that, not just citizens. So in principle foreign nationals, legal or otherwise, enjoy protection under the law equal to that of citizens.
But some animals are more equal that other, as Orwell wrote.
More like a few goofball city councilmen did.
Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Attention all criminals. Austin, Tx., the a$$hole of Texas is inviting criminal to come to the city and ply your trade. The police will not arrest but will count victims and do paperwork.
