Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday morning that he has used his power as governor to withhold funds to Texas cities and counties that adopt "sanctuary" policies toward unauthorized immigrants. According to his office, though, Abbott hasn't cut any money to any local entity in Texas over the issue.
John Wittman, a spokesman for Abbott, said the statement wasn't inaccurate, because the governor has the authority to withhold funds. "The Governor's Office has made clear that it will withhold funds from any county in Texas that doesn't comply with ICE detainer requests, and since the governor's directive, all county sheriffs have followed the law," Wittman said in a detailed statement.

There are more DUI cases at this time of the year than any other, more cases of robbery and theft, and unfortunately even terror threats. Jammed-up traffic among the shopping and festivities, visiting families and travel itineraries all contribute to a law enforcement headache.

The future of the law enforcement profession lays in our hands now. With the declining interest in a law enforcement career over the past few years and the difficulties of finding qualified candidates that will pass a fully vetted background, problems with recruiting qualified and appropriate candidates is well known. I am not an advocate for lowering standards as some have suggested. We know the eventuality of that tactic will be more problematic than taking the more detailed route of looking at the issue from a wider-angle lens.
