governor of the state of texas have always withheld money from a declared sanctuary city in the state of texas. austin, texas is in travis county, travis county declared sanctuary city policies so i withheld money from them. importantly is the way that i did it. the state of texas has grant contracts with travis county in those contracts we put in there the terms that in order for them to receive grant money they had to not have any type of sanctuary city policy. what i don't know is what type of arrangement like that the trump administration already has. what i do know that the trump administration has those similar contract terms, they will be able to withhold money to those cities. however, maria, that's a smart part of what we have done. we have spent a bill in the capital behind me. one it can expose them to very high fines about $25,000 per day if exposed them for jail time for any sheriff or official and can also subject the county or city or whichever political body it is to legal action in the event that they release somebody . think of kate stanley, this would be allowed the people to sue. m
