TX Governor Greg Abbott
Sanctuary City law
Heather Mac Donald, 2004: "Two-thirds of all outstanding felony warrants in the city of Los Angeles involved illegal aliens -- as well as 95% of outstanding murder warrants."
Reports: in a nine-month timeframe in 2014, sanctuary cities shielded 9,265 illegals from deportation, 62 percent of which "had significant prior criminal histories" and 2,320 of them were subsequently rearrested for new crimes, according to Daniel Horowitz at Conservative Review.
March: According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Local authorities released 206 illegal aliens from prisons and jails in sanctuary jurisdictions over a week-long span despite pending federal detainment orders. A homicide suspect, a convicted arsonist, and multiple individuals convicted of aggravated assault were among those released by local law enforcement across 118 jurisdictions. A single county in central Texas, Travis County, authorities freed 142 people who entered the United States illegally and were subject to deportation.
