Texas Governor Abbot Just Canceled $1.5M in Criminal Justice Grants for Travis County (Austin sanctuary city)

Gov. Abbott Cuts Off Grants to Travis County Over 'Sanctuary City' Policy
[link to kut.org]

In a letter to county officials, Abbott promised to cut state grants to the county once the policy goes into effect, a promise he came through on this morning, when he announced he would cut off funding of criminal justice grants to Travis County. Last week, Abbott also directed his office’s budget director to account for all funds – state and federal – allocated to the county through the governor’s office.

A bill that's up at the state legislature could also codify that policy going forward. Senate Bill 4 would cut state grants to local jurisdictions that do not honor all ICE detainer requests. The first public hearing on that bill is this morning at the Capitol.

Tax them. Cut off the highways and interstates and deploy a patriot tariff on anything going into and out of Austin. She will be impeached immediately.

Beautiful.....you know the citizens can rise up and start to support the governor.

Cue the media sob stories about the poor Democrat Activists whose "Families will STARVE!" because of this "Evil Republican Order!".

Arrest the Sheriff. Send in 20 Texas Rangers.

Film the tears in 4K.

The Trump Effect is growing...

He's not taking SNAP money. He Needs to take more hardcore action they will not show respect and follow orders under he starts arresting people. Relocate the Texas capital to another all red county. Use the sheriff as an excuse to do it. She refuses to follow lawful orders.

Starve the bastards out!

Feb 1st. He warned them, and he followed through.

It must make the Democrats insane with rage to see a politician do what they say - to draw a line and have it mean something.

The sheriff done fucked up. Now its gonna cost her country and the people she is supposed to serve. She has to go.
