Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Escalates Standoff Over Sheriff's 'Sanctuary Cities' Policy


Abbott doesn't have the power to remove local officials. But Texas Republicans have filed multiple bills that would punish local governments for not arresting or detaining immigrants living in the country illegally.
