Governor Abbott is dead serious about sanctuary cities. First, he signed a law back in 2017 making sanctuary cities illegal. He is back reminding Houston that there are consequences when you don’t work with ICE or don’t obey the law he signed. Check this out:
Millions of dollars in public safety funding have been frozen for Houston following a recent change in the city’s immigration policy, according to city officials.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire’s office confirmed the update to ABC13 on Tuesday, saying the state had froze [sic] nearly $115 million in public safety funding. During a meeting, Whitmire added that some services by the Houston Police Department had been halted as a result of Gov. Greg Abbott’s actions.
‘This is serious business affecting every Houstonian,’ Whitmire said. ‘Every Houstonian, and our region. It was public safety this time. In a couple of days, it’ll be public health.’
This comes after the city was warned to change or repeal its new immigration policy or risk losing the funds.
Abbott’s office sent the warning in a letter on Monday, escalating tensions between state and local leaders just days after the Houston City Council passed a controversial ordinance defining how police interact with federal immigration authorities.
Controversial ordinance? No. It’s an illegal ordinance or a violation of the aforementioned sanctuary state law. You can’t do that in Texas anymore than you can drive 75 MPH in a Houston school zone.

Good point, Why not arrest them? Well there isn't any money changing hands for that operation, first you have to pay for an investigation, then a grand jury has to be formed which may or may not lead to an indictment which amy or may not lead to a trial, all of which requires lawyers be paid.
Lol, I see why 0 is the first numeral of your name! Fyi, there’s nothing to stop you from name calling on FR but it is against the rules.
