A Republican Texas congresswoman is urging New York police officers to pack their bags and head to Texas, offering them a state free of “pro-criminal” politicians that backs the blue and can offer a better quality of life.
Rep, Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, has put out an ad in the New York Post urging police officers in the Empire State to “escape New York and move to Texas!”
In the ad, she cites the death of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller — who was fatally shot during a traffic stop last month — and says that she was “disgusted as one pro-criminal politician after another attempted to force themselves into the solemn remembrance of Officer Diller’s heroic career.”

She claims that the state is “purposefully anti-law and order” and officers face budget cuts from “Defund the Police politicians” while fending off illegal immigrant gangs and violent career criminals.
“It’s time for you to leave these loathsome and destructive folks behind. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK!”

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Rep. Van Duyne said she was trying to convey how much “respect and heartbreak” there is across the country for what police officers are going through in New York.
“It feels like they’ve been abused, undermined, sold out by the politicians, the representatives who take the side of the criminals over the police and, quite honestly, over the citizens,” she said.
She contrasted that with reverence for law enforcement in the Republican state.
“We respect, we appreciate, and also I think we revere our officers for what they do week in and week out. It’s just one more reason why the Lone Star State shines brighter than the rest — we have a value for their professionalism and their commitment,” she said.
