Very strongly disagree
Yes
Greg Abbott, as the Governor of Texas, has been a vocal critic of sanctuary cities. He signed Senate Bill 4 in 2017, which effectively bans sanctuary cities in the state of Texas. The bill also allows law enforcement to ask about a person's immigration status during any legal detention. This suggests that he would strongly disagree with federal funding going to sanctuary cities.
