Perhaps President Trump's administration can join in by withholding federal funds from Travis County as well.

Boo! And I thought I was doing good by moving out of Austin to the county.

How do you campaign (and get elected) as the chief law enforcement officer on a platform of refusing to obey the law?

Because Austin is a bastion of Progressive Liberalism.

The Legislature should move to make this behavior by city/county officials illegal under State law.

"Because Austin is a bastion of Progressive Liberalism."
That's one way to put it.
My thinking is: Austin is a bastion of fascist snowflakes who don't fully appreciate they live in the U.S. - If they lived in Cuba or Venz. they'd be disappeared if what they had to say didn't align with the government...
They are the quintessential "useful idiots"

I agree with at least half of that characterization.
Not sure about their usefulness.

Austin is bad, but it isn't even close to being as bad as San Fransisco.

Yet. Progressive agenda is full steam ahead there with no signs of stopping.

I truly believe President Trump will put his foot down. And when he does, will squash these cooka-roches that is so overdue and needed. Just a matter of time.

There should be more than holding funds to a Law Enforcement Officer who refuses to uphold the law.

I wonder how liberals would react if Texas became a sanctuary state for NFA firearms.
