Texas Gov Abbott Goes to WAR with Local Sanctuary City Sheriff

Even though she lost state law enforcement grants, Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez is snubbing her nose at the LAW and followed through with releasing 39 criminal illegals during the first two days of her sanctuary policy.

Texas Gov. Abbott is vowing to “hammer” the rogue county for disobeying the law.

From Breitbart

Records obtained by Breitbart Texas from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office revealed that “Sanctuary Sally” released 37 criminal aliens from custody on February 1. Two more criminal aliens were released on the following day. The sheriff’s office stated that Sheriff Hernandez declined 191 immigration detainers that were received by her office before February 1. Eight more immigration detainers received after February 1 were also declined. The sheriff also declined four requests from immigration officials to be notified of the pending release of the criminal aliens in her custody.

Sheriff Hernandez did not refuse all requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. Thirty immigration detainers that were received by her office before the February 1 change in policy were honored by the office. The sheriff accepted three immigration detainers that were received after her policy went into effect on February 1. She also accepted two requests for notification of pending release.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott responded to the lawless actions of the Travis County sheriff Tweeting, “This is why I declared banning sanctuary cities an emergency. Texas will hammer Travis County.”

This is why I declared banning sanctuary cities an emergency. Texas will hammer Travis County. #txlege #tcot https://t.co/SWVDiZlZBd
