Sanctuary city ban could spread to other States after Texas law signed ( Archived) (15)

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed SB-4 into law in a Facebook Live event Sunday evening, effectively banning sanctuary city policies in Texas and giving law enforcement officers the right to ask the immigration status of anyone they stop. Under the law, officers who fail to comply, or cooperate, with federal immigration agents could face jail time and fines reaching $25,000 per day.

“I was proud last night to sign this law ... What it means is that no county, no city, no governmental body in the state of Texas can adopt any policy that provides sanctuary, and second, what it means, is that law enforcement officials, such as sheriffs, are going to be required to comply with ICE detainer requests,” Abbott said on "Fox & Friends" on Monday.

I'm not sure, but I know California took a census and poll to put it in a referendum. Of course it didn't pass.

I honestly do not understand why certain municipalities and states feel like they are above the law. You can not exempt yourself from the law just because you don't agree with it. You become pro-active to change that law.



Of course, when it comes to pot...I say defy the lawrolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Absolutely, a law is a law.

Marijuana is by the way, getting legalized in most states.

Ms Linseyjones, my point was these are peoples who do not wish to perform these hard/laborious underrated jobs. Criteria for work is to be ready/willing/able. This is one situation where 2 out of 3 just doesn't work.
