Texas has harnessed its state police force to ICE, meaning Texas state troopers will now engage in racial profiling to stop and sesrch, arrest and detain. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-dps-287g-ice-trump-abbott/

Stay away from Texas.

Texas Turns Its Sprawling State Police Force Into Immigration Agents for Trump

The notorious 287(g) task force program has finally reached DPS, raising fears of widespread racial profiling.

@heidilifeldman I wasn’t inclined to go before, and I sure as hell won’t be now.

@heidilifeldman They are the Texas Taliban at this point. The only way to tell them apart at this point is the Texas versions are in suits and ties

@heidilifeldman
Thanks for sharing the article I had heard of some is the collaboration but not all of it.
It also reminded me that we hadn't yet setup supporting the Texas Observer with recurring donations.

@heidilifeldman I left a few friends I made behind, but honestly, the best thing I did was move out of that state last year. My wife feels so much safer where we are now

@heidilifeldman Texas has always been a mean state, and over the past few decades it’s also become stupid.

Remember that when the Civil War was over, the union had to detach another army to go remind Texas that they lost.

@heidilifeldman

Find a state that's committed itself to providing #sanctuary and hit the road.

Don't wait for a miracle from Congress that may never come, while fearing arrest.

Get out now.
