As more cities and counties enact stay-at-home orders, frustration is growing among conservatives in Texas who are pushing back and saying the government is crossing a dangerous line.

After Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins became the first to announce a mandatory stay-at-home rule, conservative groups including Empower Texans began ringing alarms in opposition to Jenkins and to Gov. Greg Abbott, who they say paved the way for the move.

“I’m extremely concerned about what Dallas Co just did, and Abbott’s apparent sanctioning of it,” Empower Texans president Ross Kecseg wrote on Twitter after Jenkins made his announcement.

Former state Rep. Matt Rinaldi, a contributor to conservative websites, also fired at both Jenkins and Abbott.
