TX Gov. Cuts Funding to Sanctuary County, Then Has EPIC Mic Drop Moment…

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott just sent a strong message to Travis County.
That is, harboring illegal aliens is not allowed in the Lone Star State.
Abbott cut funding to the county, then dropped the mic by announcing: “stiffer penalties coming soon.”
BOOM!
From Breitbart:
Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office confirmed to Breitbart Texas he has cut state law enforcement grants to Travis County after the sheriff’s new sanctuary policies went into effect on February 1.
The move comes one day after Governor Abbott declared the issue of sanctuary cities to be an emergency item for the Texas Legislature to address this session. “Some law enforcement officials in Texas are openly refusing to enforce existing law,” Abbott stated during his State of the State Address. “That is unacceptable.”
…
Those “stiffer penalties” could come from SB4, authored by Senator Charles Perry (R-Lubbock). “I am excited that Governor Abbott stood up for the rule of law by declaring the banning of Sanctuary Cities an emergency item during his State of the State Address,” Sen. Perry said in a written statement obtained by Breitbart Texas. “Texans everywhere expect their elected officials to uphold the rule of law. We cannot allow local officials to implement dangerous policies that make it easier for individuals who commit serious crimes to be placed back into our communities.”
Reactions…
Thank you, governor.
America needs more firm leaders like Abbott if we wish to get back on track and live by the rule of law.
Thankfully, Barack Obama can’t touch this issue anymore.
