Texas House Passes "Sanctuary Cities" Legislation HB12

Texas House Passes "Sanctuary Cities" Legislation HB12...which would prohibit cities, counties and other governmental entities or special districts from adopting a policy that prevents law enforcement from asking persons lawfully detained or arrested if they are in the country legally. Entities not in compliance could risk losing state funds. The measure was passed on a 100 to 47 vote just after midnight.
