Austin, Texas, dominates list of jurisdictions that don't cooperate with ICE

In Texas, the local justice system in Travis County — home to Austin — is mostly known for politically motivated prosecutions by its very liberal elected prosecutors. That’s why Travis is where, for example, Gov. Rick Perry faced criminal charges for threatening to veto a bill (no, really). It’s also where Tom DeLay was charged with the campaign finance violations of which he was ultimately acquitted.

The Trump administration would like to put Travis on the map for another reason: As the number one sanctuary county in America, judging by an early list of cases in which local police departments refused to cooperate with immigration detainers issued by the Obama or Trump administrations to hold charged or convicted criminals for deportation.
