Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday unveiled his public safety priorities for the 2027 legislative session, renewing his focus on restricting bail and opposing progressive district attorneys.
Flanked by several Republican state lawmakers, the governor rolled out his agenda at a campaign event at the Austin Police Association’s headquarters. Topping his wish list was denying bail to all unauthorized migrants accused of certain felonies. He also will champion creating a statewide prosecutor and the ability to impeach what he characterized as rogue district attorneys.
