Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatens to withhold $2.5 million in public safety grants from Austin due to a new police policy on immigration warrants. The policy limits officers handling of ICE administrative warrants, breaking a certification the city signed last February. The Governors Public Safety Office demands the city scrap the changes by April 23rd or face penalties. The Texas Attorney General also launched a probe, claiming the policy might violate Senate Bill four. Austin has until April to respond, with the AGs investigation ongoing.
