Indeed. Kek shall exact terrible vengeance upon the evils of the land, and the God-Emperor Trump shall be his vessel.

Sessions is a weak kneed yellow bellied limp wrist loser. He hasn’t done a single thing as AG. Not one.

I've noticed the same.

I'll withhold judgment. I'm hoping he's task organizing and investigating and all that other stuff.

I'm thinking Grand Inquisitor Sessions is making a list and checking it twice.

It's only been a few weeks.

> It seems he is more proactive than AG Jeff Sessions.

I think he's under more pressure from the powers that be than Abbott. In addition, the Uniparty has just about cut his nuts by hammering him on issue after issue...

The Sheriff is a County official and does not belong to the City Council or Mayor. These people usually control the City departments.

Sheriffs are County and thus are the highest elected official in the County.

Some sheriffs are obligated to follow the direction provided by political leaders.

What??? Read the Texas Constitution. The County Sheriff is the highest elected official in the County. They are not obligated to follow any "direction" provided by political leaders. They are obligated to enforce the laws. That is it.

Oddly enough these Sheriffs could wind up behind the very bars they are releasing these very criminals from.”

A death sentence for sure.

And not a pleasant one.

I realize that . . . both Travis County and Austin City are BOTH a Sanctuary County and Sanctuary City.

No need to split hairs, no need for condescension . . . both entities in this case are guilty of violating federal immigration laws.

And, as I said, if the sheriff violates a law they are required to obey, they should also go to jail. But when a sheriff is following orders from a law passed by local politicians, the politicians should go to jail. Excusively or in addition to, either way.

The list I have is ancient. I thought it had died.

Your list probably isn't as out of date as you think. I'll freepmail you my list.

Was not trying to do either. Since you do not have an indication on your homepage of what your home State is I was not sure if your were familiar with Texas Constitution. That is all I was trying to convey FRiend and I agree with you 100%.

Our Governor is going to teach this Sheriff a lesson where Governor Good Hair Perry would have not.

I am so glad President Trump swooped Perry ( I despise him, met him and stomped South Texas sugar sand with him) up and got him out of Texas.

The sides in the upcoming civil war are no longer defined by geography, such as North and South, but by Right (conservative) and left (wrong.)

The sheriff of Travis County might as well be a Marxistchusetts liberal.

These criminal sanctuary city sheriffs are “law enforcement” officers??????

What laws are they enforcing? Texas or Mexico’s? As a matter of fact they actually are worse than criminals since the “aid and abet” other criminals.

Put them in jail where they belong.
