A Texas sheriff refused to sign a letter agreeing to hold arrested illegal immigrants for ICE.
Austin, TX – Travis County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) deputies lost the opportunity to receive lifesaving ballistic vests, after the department’s sheriff decided it was more important to shield illegal immigrants from federal agents.
The vests were made available through a unanimously approved state Senate bill in 2017, which allocated $25 million to help Texas law enforcement agencies to purchase the gear for their officers in the wake of the July 7, 2016 police ambush in Dallas that left five officers dead, KXAN reported.
In January, Governor Abbot declared that $23 million in grants from the fund would be dispersed to buy 33,000 vests for over 450 law enforcement departments who had applied. Every agency that applied was accepted.
The vests are designed to protect against more powerful rounds than the low-caliber bullet vests commonly issued to Texas law enforcement officers.
The applications, which were due by Sep. 6, 2017, required agency leaders to “sign a letter confirming compliance with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] detainer request both now and during the grant term of at least one year,” Travis County Commissioner’s Court records said, according to KXAN.

Austin is the arsehole of Texas.......Houston and San Antonio are the hemmoroids. Don’t bother to get upset if you live in the hemmoroids........ain’t my fault they’re tinkering on the cusp of political correctness and treason. I love my state and I was born and raised in Houston but I wouldn’t live there again if someone gave me a million dollar house there.
What was I thinking?? Throw DALLAS in there with the other two (Houston and San Antonio)........and I don’t care if I offend cause as a true, blue Texan I can say it.......;)
I’m a Fort Worthian, still trying to keep it conservative. Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston...not fans of the big cities. It’s home though.
Let her explain that idiotic decision to the of a officer if one is injured or killed when it could be prevented with this body armor. Choosing illegal aliens over Americans is treason. Then again, if that is what Austin wants, that is what they get. Can fix stupid. But treason should result in charges.
I agree.
More insanity.
Another "wise Latina".
That would be Travis County (Austin) democrat Sheriff Sally Hernandez ie Uncle Fester.
Republican Governors and County Execs should have flipped the bird at SCOTUS abortion, Obamacare, and homo marriage rulings
I was going to Add Dallas and San Antone to your list, but you beat me to it.
Are Dallas (Lib) and Ft. Worth (Conserv) still battling?
Odessa (Conserv) and Midland (Lib) are very similar, on a much smaller scale.
All of the stars on the collar make her super smart just like the a-hole sheriff in Fla.
You mean Sheriff Sally Hernandez???? In Travis County TX, the demoKKKrat capital of TX? HA HA HA HO HO HO HEE HEE !!!!
Our son is a police officer in Ft. Worth. I’ve visited and I love it up there. Beautiful town.
Like I told DallasGal our son is a police officer in Ft. Worth and it’s got the other big cities beat all to heck. Our grandson moved up there after college to work in Ft. Worth. Love that town.........;)
ROTFL!! That hag needs to be in jail
This dimchit also released illegals, after ICE policy went into effect....
