Governor Greg Abbott is threatening to cut funding for any Texas state school that becomes a sanctuary campus.

The governor made the announcement on Twitter Thursday afternoon. His tweet came after someone asked if he would cut state funding to Texas State University, which is petitioning to become a sanctuary campus.

His response stated, "Texas will not tolerate sanctuary campuses or cities. I will cut funding for any state campus if it establishes sanctuary status."

His decision comes one week after Congressman Bill Flores said he would work to cut off federal funding to Texas A&M University if they took on a sanctuary status. There is currently a petition going around asking to make the university a sanctuary.

Flores made those comments during an interview on WTAW. He says there is no difference between severing funds to a university and a sanctuary city which harbors lawbreakers.
