Abbott Threatens Dallas Over Immigration Policy

0:00Texas Governor Greg Abbott just dropped a major threat on Dallas, saying he'll yank nearly $90 million in public safety grants and world. Cup Cash, unless the city changes its police stance on immigration enforcement. The beast stems from a Dallas PD policy that blocks officers from detaining folks just to check immigration status or hand them over to federal agents. Abbott fired off letters Thursday to Dallas Houston in Austin, warning of over $30 million dollars in grants and $50 million more for world. Cup prep on the line. Dallas Police Chief Daniel Camo pushed back quick, insisting their longstanding policy lines up with state law. City Councilman Jamie Resendez called it straight politics, messing with real safety issues like violent crime and traffic deaths, arguing cops ain't. Federal immigration enforcers. Meanwhile, the governor's team clapped back hard, claiming Dallas's no-cute vibe makes streets deadlier and goes against state contracts men's who. Boo's safety all around.
