德州州長簽署法律，禁止移民庇護城市

The governor of the southern U.S. state of Texas has signed a law banning so-called sanctuary cities and threatening fines and criminal charges for police departments and officers who refuse to comply with orders from federal immigration agents.

"Texas strongly supports the legal immigration that has been a part of our state from our very beginning. But legal immigration is different from harboring people who have committed dangerous crimes," Governor Greg Abbott said.

He added that law enforcement agencies "don't get to pick and choose which laws they will obey."

The Republican-led Texas legislature approved the law last week against the objections of Democrats, civil rights groups and an organization of police chiefs representing the state's largest cities. It is due to go into effect September 1.美國南部德克薩斯州州長簽署了一項法律，禁止所謂的移民庇護城市，並威脅對拒絕遵照聯邦移民機構命令的警察局和警官處以罰款和刑事指控。

德州州長格萊格·阿伯特說，“德克薩斯堅決支持合法移民。合法移民從我們建州伊始就是我們州的組成部分。但是合法移民和窩藏那些犯下危險罪行的人不同。”

他補充說，執法機構“不得自行挑選他們要遵守哪些法律。”

共和黨領導的德克薩斯州立法機構上週在民主黨人、民權組織和代表該州一些大城市警察局長的機構反對的情況下，批准了這部法律。這部法律將於今年9月1日生效。
