TX: Gov Greg Abbott (R) Threatens Cities Over ICE Policies

Monday, April 20, 2026

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has threatened to cut state funding to three of Texas' largest cities if they fail to change policies that the governor says limit police cooperation with ICE. Around $200 million in public safety funding is at risk for Houston, Dallas, and Austin, with Houston facing the biggest potential loss of state funding.

While good-for-nothing Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) frets nonsensically about Sharia law taking over the US and wanting to empower ICE, gun violence continues unabated in Texas, environmental disasters keep re-occurring, prisoners are executed, and is reeling; hardest hit are the construction and hospitality industries:

I wonder why Abbott is still so fanatic about MAGA when he must realize by now that it's not taking his career anyplace?

Maybe he's just a natural-born fascist.

Hi Zed:

It's a mystery to me as well.

In NYS, we have a MIGA/MAGA maniac named Bruce Blakeman (R) running for governor.

This dead-end AIPAC-er didn't lower the flags to half-mast in Nassau County when POTUS Jimmy Carter died, he set up surveillance cameras at the NYC-Nassau County border because of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), and Blakeman empowered several Nassau County PD detectives to enforce ICE laws.

These meshuganas somehow think fascism and ethnic cleansing is a winning ticket for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Over 40 percent of Texans are Hispanic.... cities there aren't as stupid as the total douche that is Greg Abbott.

Polling suggests young master James Talarico (D) is slightly behind the good-for-war Republicans.
