On Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said he will confront the issue of cities that refuse to comply with immigration law by signing legislation that could jail sheriffs of sanctuary cities.
Abbott said, “We have been pushing a piece of legislation in Texas that is going to pass that I will be signing into law that imposes even sterner penalties on counties. It will include things such as further defunding them. It will impose fines. And it could impose jail time for these sheriffs to enforce the laws. Oddly enough these sheriffs could wind up behind the very bars they are releasing these criminals from.”

That’s a problem when law enforcement is elected by law breakers.
>>Everyone should read the last one third of Unintended Consequences. It’s all about killing people in power who abuse that power. It was the feel good story of the year when it came out!
*********************************************************
My husband says Unintended Consequences is THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN, (next to the Bible, of course)!
Yessss!!! Finally, a statesman with backbone.
The sooner the better.
“#FakeAmerican”
Infiltrator and saboteur.
Sheriffs are elected and can’t be fired (most places)
It is quite AMAZING that a man in a wheelchair has a spine of STEEL and these losers in DC have NO SPINE at all and walking around just fine!!!
Good for the governor. This lawlessness needs to stop!
Unintended Consequences is a great, great book.
However, the 1st two thirds are all about the erosion of our freedoms, ballistics, and some airplane stuff.
The last one third is about killing Feds, mostly ATF.
I posit that the last one third is the greatest last one third ever written, excepting the Bible, of course.
You just reminded me: There are no unincorporated areas in the county of San Francisco. The county and city of San Francisco share the exact same boundaries and area on the map.
I assumed that urban areas back east did the same thing.
If a sheriff or leo is breaking the law they can be prosecuted. Otherwise any sheriff is above the law and untouchable or unanswerable to anyone.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez (Harris County-Houston) who recently testified against our Sanctuary Cities bill in the TX House and pulled us from 287g.
REFUSING TO JOIN THE 287G Program is the line in the sand. They get Fed-like immunity from litigation if they join, train, cooperate.
This is why the ACLU-SOROS AXIS has been trying and succeeding in getting left-wing sheriffs/mayors to cancel or never join 287G program.
THE LEGAL IMMUNITY is the main reason (IMHO)
Right, only Presidents and prosecutors get to do that.
Rush Limbaugh said last Tuesday that the original Amnesty bill included just such a provision.
So if they go to the Capital and shoot the governor he can't be arrested? Cool.
They break the law they can be arrested just like anyone else, ask George Wallace.
Actually, I snatched the closest piece of low-hanging fruit and ran with it.
Am not convinced that a sheriff who aids and abets is beyond the governor's reach (or that of the AG down the hall); especially where s/he is given proper legislation or, if necessary, an amendment of the state's constitution.
Toss them in jail, full body cavity search, shaved head, delousing, general population, no bail.
Be sure all the inmates know EXACTLY who they are so they can be welcomed properly.
I have zero respect for people who swear to enforce the law and then refuse to do it.
