Blue-county DAs have increasingly prompted legislative and political backlash –including with the Republican-held Texas Lege passing a so-called rogue DA law that allows the state to recall and replace elected local prosecutors for not pursuing charges for certain types of crimes like low-level drug possession, or refusing to prosecute abortion providers. https://www.texasobserver.org/bexar-county-district-attorney-dem-primary/

@TexasObserver why not just charge them (DAs) with criminal conspiracy when they don’t enforce the law? Many Blue cities are becoming crime havens due to what is essentially catch & release policies with regard to criminals. If politicians don’t want to enforce laws they should repeal them.
