Texas governor warns Austin sheriff over 'sanctuary cities'

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday told Austin’s liberal sheriff that her jail would become the first in the state to lose taxpayer money over so-called “sanctuary cities” policies unless she reverses plans to curtail working with federal immigration authorities by February.

President Donald Trump made similar vows as a candidate, declaring that his “Day One” priorities would include stopping all federal dollars to places where local officials rebuff federal agents and don’t arrest or detain immigrants living in the country illegally. Several big cities, including New York and Chicago, already have formal sanctuary policies on the books.

Newly elected Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez on Friday — in a defiantly timed announcement after Trump was inaugurated — said starting Feb. 1 she would end her predecessor’s policy of honoring all jail detainers sought by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. …

They will eventually self deport or get deported by la migra-because those other cities will be defunded, as well if they stick with that sanctuary thing. If you get any photos of rich liberals doing their own landscaping work, please post them-here in BFE, landscaping is whatever nature provides, so you just mow now and then-I’d love to see photos of liberals doing landscaping work...

Part of the ‘obama legacy’ - if there can be said to be such a thing - law enforcement professionals who refuse to enforce the law, especially when it furthers the globalist agenda.

Do you not love how these fake warrior types give themselves quasi-military baubles and buttons?

Where is her Ranger tab?

Where is her Purple Heart?

4 Stars? Why not 5???? Why not make yourself the Commanding Sheriff of the County and add more braid?

I know why they do it - to “get respect” but it does not work that way.

What do you call an adult who refuses to follow the rule of law?

A criminal.

Lock the newly elected Sheriff up. Fire her as she is now a criminal and unfit for her job. These are very easy questions. Perhaps I should be Chief of Police in Austin. It’s not that hard.

County sheriffs have to watch their budgets to the penny; there’s little extra.

You’ll see sheriffs singing whole different tunes if they lose Fed dollars.

Why would the sheriff care if her jail lost funding? She's not enforcing the law anyway. If I were Governor Abbott. I'd have her arrested and thrown in the TX state penitentiary with some MS13 gang members. 😁

She may have five now as Travis County Sheriff. That photo was
from her tenure as Constable in Precient 3 in Travis County.

..who until last year was Austin’s police chief, said this weekend he supports working with federal immigration agents over “hardened criminals” but not what he called “peaceful, law-abiding” residents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What are peaceful, law abiding residents doing in jail?

This piece of liberal scum should be sent to Guantanamo to reflect on her/it’s sins. It might help her/it to get her mind clear..

You point put absurdity. Thank you.

You know what’s crazy? The city of San Francisco is also the County of San Francisco. There is no part of the county of SF that is not also the city of SF.

Is there any other municipality in the US that has the same outlay? I find it odd, because they have SF police and also SF county sheriffs.

Well, Manhattan is New York County, the Bronx is Bronx County and Queens is Queens County. The other two boroughs are also counties unto themselves (Brooklyn = Kings County and Staten Island = Richmond County).
