Gina Hinojosa(@GinaHinojosaTX):Setting a precedent where a governor refuses to acknowledge extradition orders from another state so that a fugitive charged with a violent felony can stand trial serves up Texas for the same treatment. Abbott is putting Texans in peril by playing politics with public safety and the rule of law. Texans expect that the power we entrust to the governor is used judiciously and in our best interest. A governor who abuses that trust does not deserve a 4th term.
