First, the Fifth Circuit screwed illegal immigrants by saying their advocates lacked standing to fight Texas law allowing state and local cops to make arrests.
ICE has, in turn, just arrested an interpreter of Indo-Pakistani languages.
Speaking of, how big a portion of a city's budget are these public safety grants that Abbott has threatened to cut unless cities kowtow to him on having police cooperate with ICE? In Austin's case, $2.5 million is 0.04 percent of $6.5 billion. For Dallas and Houston, it may be bigger, but still. Since part of Dallas' money is World Cup security related, why not just call Strangeabbott's bluff?
