标 题: 德州州长给Austin停钱了

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has cut funding to Travis County, the home of the
city of Austin, following through on a threat to block state grants over a
new sheriff’s refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
Abbott’s office said Monday it would cancel $1.8 million in grants to law
enforcement programs in the county, the state capital and the University of
Texas’s flagship campus. The governor said he is asking state agencies to
identify other grants to the county that he could also block.
The cuts come as Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez, newly elected in
November, begins implementing a new policy blocking deputies from asking
anyone they apprehend about their immigration status. Hernandez has also
said her office will not hold undocumented immigrants in county jails after
they complete sentences for minor crimes, even if asked by federal
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. |
