Austin City Council is about to apporve additional taxpayer funding to immigration lawyers

While everyone is focused on the ICE shooting in Austin, the City Council is quietly spending an insane amount of taxpayer money on lawyers to fight deportations.
It's tucked into Thursday's consent agenda so it can pass without a word of debate or controversy.
The money goes to two nonprofits, American Gateways and Catholic Charities, to provide what the City's own documents call "deportation defense."
It pays for:
1. Lawyers representing "detained and non-detained immigrants," including people ICE is actively trying to remove.
2. Coaching immigrants representing themselves in immigration court, helping them file motions and meet deadlines to stay in the country.
3. Legal work that helps immigrants obtain work permits.
4. Federal immigration filing fees.
Total bill to be approved: $854,872
City staff list one of the program's goals as helping clients "obtain and maintain public benefits."
Austin has already paid American Gateways $3.4 million since 2019, and after Thursday the four contracts will be authorized for up to $6.7 million.
And you thought your property taxes just paid for roads and schools

You want to laugh at and say that they voted for this suicidal government but it never stops there at their particular areas, is a epidemic of stupidity

ICE should sue the city of Austin for interference and tampering.

Correct
Americans have literally been paying for their own takeover for years now weather it's through stuff like funding immigration lawyers, welfare to support immigrants, money to get them here like the Haitians who were here for 15 years and now we have to pay to ship them back, etc

That sounds a bit seditious.
