Okay, we have heard lots about federalism and states' rights from Governor Greg Abbott through the years. So will we now hear an outcry from the governor after ICE brokers confirmed up at a Texas state district court docket and arrested an undocumented home violence sufferer who'd simply acquired a protecting order from an elected Texas decide? See the details here.
9 p.c of Texas' workforce are unlawful immigrants. That is lots of people, and numerous ladies and youngsters, besides. Will different undocumented home violence victims now resist reporting their abusers to authorities as a result of petitioning a Texas court docket for cover might imply they will be arrested? Will not youngsters who're bodily or sexually abused face the identical hesitation to report severe crimes? Give it some thought: Is that a good suggestion?
Having ICE brokers present up at Texas state courts is a slap within the face to the state from a President for whom it voted overwhelmingly. It is simply plain disrespectful of state court docket processes and the idea of federalism for the feds to arrest somebody the second after a Texas state court docket gave out a protecting order.
Grits will not maintain my breath for Governor Abbott to face up and defend states rights on this context. His endorsement of these ideas has all the time appeared opportunistic and I do not anticipate him to face on them once they fly within the face of a Republican president's insurance policies. Celebration appears to matter much more than precept in politics as of late. However a real protector of state's rights would have one thing to say concerning the feds undermining the state of Texas' capability to successfully battle crime by driving crime victims into the shadows. Perhaps sooner or later Texas will elect one.
