Many of those illegals who were released had already been convicted of sexual assault, aggravated assault, home invasion or domestic violence. If any of those released commit additional violent crimes, Sheriff Hernandez should be charged with aiding and abetting or, at the very least, dereliction of duty. Click on the link to see a spreadsheet of the various charges and convictions.

Quote:The Travis County Sheriff’s Office, located in Texas capital county, released 142 criminal aliens for whom immigration officials had issued detainers in a single week.

The numbers come from a report issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials on Monday that details the release of criminal aliens from local jails that refuse to honor immigration detainers issued by the agency. The report covers the period of January 28 to February 3, 2017.

Officials reported that 206 criminally charged illegal aliens were released from the custody of jails after an immigration detainer had been issued. Of those, 142 came from Travis County Sheriff “Sanctuary Sally” Hernandez’ jail, Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office reported in a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas.

“Today’s report from DHS is deeply disturbing and highlights the urgent need for a statewide sanctuary city ban in Texas,” Governor Abbott said in the written statement. “The Travis County Sheriff’s decision to deny ICE detainer requests and release back into our communities criminals charged with heinous crimes – including sexual offenses against children, domestic violence and kidnapping – is dangerous and should be criminal in itself. Texas will act to put an end to sanctuary policies that put the lives of our citizens at risk.”

Over the weekend, Governor Abbott put pressure on the Texas House of Representatives to pass Senate Bill 4, a bill by State Senator Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) outlawing sanctuary jurisdictions in the state.

Many of those released by the Travis County Sheriff were charged with violent crimes that make the person ineligible to remain in the United States. ICE officials issued detainers for these criminal aliens to prevent them from being released to the general public where they might commit future crimes.

I'm calling B.S. on this story. How does anyone convicted of sexual assault get released? Were they not sentence to prison?

The White House’s first-ever report on local governments that don’t cooperate with federal immigration agents shows Travis County officials declined dozens of requests to hold inmates in the days leading up to the county’s recent showdown with Gov. Greg Abbott.

Between Jan. 28 and Feb. 3, Travis County sheriff deputies declined more than 140 requests

As expected...Breitbart probably didn't give you the whole story...but I'm just guessing as I will not click on that website for anything...sorry.

Quote:Priddy also said that some of the people the sheriff's office declined to turn over to federal authorities could still be in the jail because they haven't been able to make bail or resolve their case.

"Just because we stopped honoring the detainers doesn't mean we let those people run out of this jail," he said.

Sarah Eckhardt, the Travis County judge, defended Hernandez's policy and took issue with the idea that it makes the county less safe. Abbott and other supporters of a sanctuary cities ban worry that if police allow criminal immigrants to go free, they may commit more crimes.

Eckhardt said Travis County has the lowest crime rate of any urbanized area in the state. The county's goal, she said, is to bring criminals to justice "irrespective of where the accused was born."

"ICE's mission is to enforce federal immigration laws. Travis County's mission is to enforce state criminal laws," Eckhardt said in a written statement. "Questionable immigration status is not evidence in our state criminal justice system. If the accused is undocumented, that is a federal issue which ICE is free to pursue independently."

Abbott angry as Travis County tops new federal sanctuary cities report

Love how the libs try to deny a story because of the source. This story is just more proof that James Woods nailed it in his tweet yesterday. A certain lib just can't face that fact.

You're being ridiculous. I'm doing nothing nefarious. What I'm doing allows you to see the title of the story that is being linked to give you some context of what it is about. Just showing a link does not always do that. In addition, if you hover over the link, the actual url will display in the bottom bar of the webpage.

As I predicted, your sources say that though these men were charged with various crimes, they were not convicted of them. Therefore, they are innocent until proven guilty.

Your last "source" seems to be wrong. All I got was a country music website.
