Governor Greg Abbott went on Hannity to call out the absurdity of blue cities and left-wing governors turning away help from the Trump administration to fight violent crime. Abbott’s message was simple and unvarnished: public safety is not a political prop and communities under siege don’t get to reject federal help because they prefer woke optics over law and order.
Governor Abbott hasn’t just been talking — he’s been acting, issuing executive orders that direct Texas agencies to coordinate with the federal government on border and homeland security. This is the kind of leadership Americans deserve: state officials using every legal tool to back federal efforts and protect citizens from cartels, smugglers, and criminal aliens.
Texas has backed words with results, partnering with federal authorities in Operation Lone Star and escalating DPS activity to arrest and deport dangerous illegal immigrants who prey on our communities. Those on the left who scream “overreach” ignore that Texas has reduced illegal crossings and seized staggering quantities of fentanyl while making tens of thousands of criminal arrests — real outcomes that keep Texans alive and safe.
Meanwhile, Democratic-run cities like Chicago are choosing theater over safety, even suing to block National Guard deployments while violent crime victims pay the price on city streets. The double standard is sickening: elected officials who trumpet compassion for criminals but barricade their citizens from the very resources that could restore peace are practicing political cowardice, not governance.
Patriotic leaders should follow Abbott’s example and stop letting ideology dictate policing. If Washington and red-state governors can coordinate to restore order, they must — and any official who refuses federal help for political reasons should explain to victims why they chose politics over protection. Texans and all Americans deserve leaders who will fight for safety, sovereignty, and the rule of law, not excuses.
