John,
Over the weekend, law-abiding Texans received a notable victory in the fight against local cities and
municipalities that attempt to violate state law by declaring themselves a “sanctuary city” for criminals. |
BREAKING: The City of San Antonio agreed to pay $300,000 to settle two
state lawsuits stemming from a 2017 smuggling incident. Attorney General Ken Paxton accused city officials of offering a “sanctuary
city” for illegal aliens in violation of state law.
In 2017, San
Antonio police were alerted to a potential human-trafficking incident on the city’s northeast side. There they found a tractor-trailer of
illegal aliens. San Antonio police arrested the driver on smuggling charges, but the illegal aliens were eventually
released. Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the city for releasing the illegal aliens and not cooperating with federal immigration
officials – in violation of Senate Bill 4, which outlaws “sanctuary
cities.” |
In a statement, Paxton said, “It is time for cities like San Antonio to wake up and realize their misguided
approach to immigration is not only reckless, but it has also made the influx of dangerous narcotics and human trafficking much
worse.”
This settlement signals that Senate Bill 4 is
working in Texas. Unfortunately, it also shows that liberal-run cities will continue to push the envelope and try to violate state and federal
immigration laws.
There must be accountability for the Radical Left
when they snub their noses at commonsense border and immigration laws. Will you chip in to help us defeat the
Democrats in November and elect bold Republican leaders who will enforce the rule of law? |
Thank you for standing with us in support of law and order in Texas.
Save America,
