COPS/Metro Fights SB4 with Bexar & San Antonio Officials

On Friday, COPS/Metro leaders stood with Bexar County and San Antonio elected leaders calling on Governor Abbott to not sign SB 4 ("sanctuary cities" bill) into law. Speakers against the bill included Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, County Judge Nelson Wolff and state Sen. Jose Menendez.

Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff argued that the bill would increase costs to the county and distract law enforcement efforts from addressing local violent crime.

'What's going to happen?' he asked, as he predicted no officer would ask 'an Anglo guy' in a 'two-piece suit' for his papers but instead would target 'the person with brown skin.'
