#1 Great time to be a sanctuary city that defunded its police force. No mention of the immigration issues in this article. I bet they didn’t defund the Texas State Capitol Police.

#3 The state govt has pulled DPS officers in and set up a deal with Travis county to make sure govt assets are protected.
I personally think the real reason that so many cities go along with the "defund the police" is it means the money keeps coming in, but they won't have to spend it on safety. More to steal that way.
You'll note, as police get thinned out, there's no corresponding reduction in taxes.
