Texas Attorney General asking residents to rat out 'sanctuary cities'

Earlier this week Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked residents to start ratting out cities and counties that refuse to go along with the state's revived anti-sanctuary law.

A federal appeals court said Texas could require localities to comply with detainer requests from ICE, asking that illegal aliens be held for pickup at the behest of a federal deportation officer.

Paxton said:

“By enforcing the key provisions of SB 4, we will prevent dangerous criminals from being released back into our Texas communities."

Paxton has also set up a website to gather complaints. The complaints come with sworn statements laying out the facts of the alleged violation.

Of course there are plenty of groups in Texas who say SB 4 is "racist" and an attack on immigrants. Julieta Garibay, co-founder of United We Dream, said:

“SB4 is the work of right-wing Texas politicians to further a white supremacist agenda to terrorize, detain, deport, incarcerate and separate families of color across Texas."
