Texas GOP Representative Beth Van Duyne, from the 24th District, has launched a campaign to encourage New York City police officers to relocate to Texas, citing the state's higher value on law and order. This initiative includes a full-page advertisement in the New York Post with the headline 'Escape New York' and highlights the benefits of moving to Texas, such as lower crime rates and a more supportive environment for law enforcement. The ad specifically targets officers disenchanted with New York's current stance on crime and budget cuts to police departments. Van Duyne's campaign comes amidst Texas busing illegal immigrants to New York City, further emphasizing the contrasting approaches to law and order between the two states. The congresswoman has included 15 law enforcement agencies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that are currently seeking officers, aiming to attract those looking for a change. The move has sparked reactions, including from New York City Mayor Adams, who defended NYC's lower homicide rate compared to Dallas and criticized the campaign's premise.
