This week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott slashed more than a million dollars in state grant money to a county after its sheriff vowed to break with immigration enforcement practices. According to the Austin American-Statesman, Abbott will cease payment of a $1.8 million grant for criminal justice programs to Travis County, which includes Texas' capital, Austin. The decision comes on the same day that a new jailing policy was announced by Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez that the area would detain inmates suspected of being undocumented immigrants only if they are charged with a serious crime. http://bzfd.it/2jwCZYd http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
