A Henderson pastor was one
of eight Texas church leaders
that had a 90-minute lunch last
week with Gov. Greg Abbott.
Dr. David Higgs, pastor
at Henderson’s First Baptist
Church, represented the East
Texas region Oct. 19 at the gov-
ernor’s mansion in Austin.

WASHINGTON - This year
has brought an unusually grim
and steady drumbeat of vio-

A 5-year-old girl killed this
month in Cleveland in a drive-

weekend. A young female jour-

let in May while waiting to
change buses.
Violent crime has often
been a local government con-
cern and a problem that had
been on the decline. But ris-
ing homicide totals in most
of America’s large cities have
sounded alarms within the
Obama administration, with
federal officials drawing urgent
attention to the problem before
Congress, at conferences and in
speeches.
The Justice Department this
month organized a brainstorm-
ing summit with mayors and
police chiefs. And FBI Director

there-and-back trip to
Houston, which isn’t pleas-
ant under the best of cir-
cumstances. It rained all the
way there, all the way back.

the table when the Legislature
returns in 2017.
Despite overwhelming
Republican majorities, the
Texas Legislature has failed to
pass sanctuary cities propos-
als in three consecutive ses-
sions. That includes 2011 when
then-Gov. Rick Perry declared
it a priority during the run-up
to his White House candidacy,
and this year, when tea party
leaders wrested control of the
state Senate.
